Franciszek Araszkiewicz – electromagnetic fields Music for tenor saxophone, feedback-saxophone (Michael Fischer), electromagnetic fields and brain-wave- scanner (Franciszek Araszkiewicz). With Fischer’s use of extended techniques and feedback system as well as Araszkiewicz’s electronics governed by real-time scanning of electromagnetic fields and brainwave activity the performance shows the timbral variety of this unique instrumentation: from noise and drone structures to ambient sounds. ‘fluctuations’ was a.o. guest at Museumsquartier/Tonspur-live series Vienna, 2018 and appreciated conclusion of AudioArtFestival in Krakow, 2017.
