Creating something of nothing
0O / Null Orchestra was formed by former and current studends of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts and of Franz Liszt Academy of Music. With their performance, the group aims to experiment with the roles of the listener and the performer, approaching this task with the toolkit known from religious rituals and lithurgies, and by the continuous redefinition of musical textures. The performance "※" summarizes and terminates the group's artistic activity.
The conductors and the participants of the ritual simultaneously get acquinted with sounding objects placed in a matrix. As the performance unfolds, the objects become organic elements of an evolving narrative, leaving their previous passively sonorous state behind - the result of the ritual is the establishment of a transcendent meta-object. The sounds and the placement of the items become integrated in an installation. The participants are able to follow the plot through visual and sonic channels, transmitted by microphones and body cameras.
