Fiorenza

by Mathias Fischer-Dieskau

🏆 Honorary Mention · Prix Ars Electronica 1988

In 1988, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Fiorenza” by Mathias Fischer-Dieskau (Digital Musics & Sound Art) with a Honorary Mention.

Everything audible may be sampled ("computerized"). And in my composition there are exclusively sampled sounds to be heard. From minimal particles of every-day's sounds - from the motorbike to Mozart - I try to set up complex musical images.
