Kitchen Sink: Video score for 4 performers
2023

You can use any metal objects that can be found in the kitchen: bowls, trays, spoons, pans, a metal thermos, a grater, a pestle and other kitchen utensils. It is also possible to use electromechanical devices - for example, a mixer, electric coffee grinder, etc.

The scheme is very simple: basically, it primarily indicates the playing time of each of the musicians. There is a complete freedom in terms of the choice of objects, pitch, timbre, etc. Dynamics presupposes the freedom of the performer in the given parameters and is indicated only in some compositionally important parts.

It is mandatory to use sound amplification (contact microphones, piezoelectric pickups) to increase the volume of barely audible sounds.
