Temporal Extension of one instantaneous End (extension time optional)
Live music, stage installation, and live video.
The sonic elements featured in the installation are derived from microphones planted within two analog tape recorders.
These devices, invented for the documentation, preservation and conservation of sound, are used to provide the voices that play protagonist to the
piece: streamed through a computer, the sounds are subtly
manipulated and played back onto surrounding speakers, thus
accentuating specific defining characteristics of the devices
themselves.
The resulting composition circles around the machines,
situated at the center of a sculptural formation that consists of
four speakers, two tape recorders (Akai 4000 DS and Tesla B 100) and
usually a small neon strip lamp on supporting structure. The installation was exhibited in various venues in
Budapest (HU), Prague (CZ), Lublin (PL), and Cologne (DE).
The soundtrack titled Amigzaj 3 is available on Bandcamp.

Synaesthesia – Performences
audio-visual performances at 2B Gallery, Budapest, 2012
"The ambient sound performance of Martin Blažíček and András Blazsek, opening the exhibition, was a metaphorical journey, based on an interpretation of pure intermedia, by now considered classical – an audiovisual noise-composition free of partial tones (i.e., composed of sine tones), ... At the concert, the magnetic tape turning silently in the tape-recorder and the sound-painting generated by its movement, as well as the image projected in real-time with the tape-recorder, comprise a nice metaphor for the conceptual interpretation of the medium."
