I was responsible for live sound, recording, and mastering for the performance of Soil Sisters – contemporary 2.0* bharatanatyam, part of the Zwischen Erde und Himmel – Menschlich program at St. Matthäus-Kirche. The electroacoustic composition by Alifiyah Imani was played through the church’s integrated sound system, and my role involved re-enabling spatialisation within the local setup. I also devised an effective method for an appropriate recording of the event and handled FOH duties during the live performance.
