This performance is fanaticism about flying loudspeakers.
I attach four loudspeakers to large, coloured helium balloons.
The loudspeakers are held on the ground under piles of sugar. I play glissandi on the flute and with the support of live electronics (real time sampling) I try to imitate the sound of aerplane engines taking off. I play until, the loudspeakers have freed themselves from the piles of sugar
by vibrating loudspeaker membranes, and rise into the air with the balloons. The more weight the speaker loses, the further it is pulled upwards by the helium balloon.
