Premiere Performance

eChOlapse (2025)

Acousmatic composition for
8-channel polyphonic diffusion

eChOlapse presents itself not as a narrative but as a sonic drift — a non-linear environment where sound moves through states of fracture and erosion. The work suggests a broken ecosystem, a broken system, even a collapse continually replayed. Repetition does not function as return, but as residue; loops falter and fold back into themselves, echoes collapsing into echoes. Forgetting becomes a way of renewal, while recalling appears as a destructive fixation — the urge to recover what sound has already erased. In its multichannel presentation, the listener neither begins nor ends but is suspended in a field of resonance, ambiguity, and attrition. Diffusion operates not as projection but as composition itself, where collapse takes the form of structure and disappearance asserts itself as presence.
