Choreographed intuitions for miniature loudspeakers and video: Friebel’s piece explores the context of first impressions, and how an intuition can be captured in audio. It is drawn from responses to a brolgas’ (Australian crane) dance of love, a video snapshot of their lives spent together as companions. It is a piece which takes a brief moment of love between the birds and attempts to capture a sonic relation to them, placing individuals in an environment of free-improvisation with the filtered gestures of the brolga.
