Katharina Klement, Wirbel (Vortex), 9, version 2021 Baraqel, 6, 2020 at the ACOUSMONIUM festival, New Stage of Alexandrinsky Theatre, Russia. 00:00 intro 03:27 Wirbel 12:56 Baraqel Wirbel (Vortex), 9, version 2021, stereo. The piece was created in its first version in 2018 on the occasion of a concert in the baroque Kollegienkirche in Salzburg, Austria. It follows the idea of a gradually developing rotating movement, derived from a basic idea of the Baroque, which understands the inflection or fold as an elastic fold that allows a straight line to become a curve with oscillating centres, which finally leads to spirals, turbulences, vortices. The current version was combined with parts from other works, which are mainly characterised by glissandi, stepless up and down movements in the pitch space. A weightless gliding is added to the rotational movements, leaving the impression of being free of gravity. Baraqel, 6, 2020, st
