“time slice transmitter” is a 35-voice experimental music composition for six-string electronic violin. The voices of this composition follow the tradition of 16th century renaissance polyphonic style, enriched by modern violin techniques. Visitors are invited to arrange their own versions of this work online by modifying various sound and visual tracks. Dependent on the users playfull interactions, outcomes can range from short minimalistic loop fragments up to dense polyphonic and even noisy ambient textures. The video strips arranged one below the other on the screen result in a fluid mosaic of the depicted violonists body. The musicians fragmented physique represents the translation of an auditory and digital simultaneity of 35 different time layers.
