Emerging polish sound artist Marcin Pietruszewski's multichannel composition consists of a series of experimental articulations between trilingual libretto, procedures for machine speech analysis/ re-synthesis, and computer music.

Its conceptual point of departure is a specially conceived text written by Helen Hester, Katrina Burch aka Yoneda Lemma, and Virginia Barrat of the Laboria Cubonics collective, and based on their manifesto “Xenofeminism – A Politics of Alienation“. Through its integration of text, speech and sound synthesis, the work pursues multiple and transitive relationships between ideas, objects and practices and seizes alienation as an impetus to generate new – sonic, conceptual, social or political – worlds.

The work premiered at CTM 2016 in Berghain, and is co-produced in collaboration with Phonetic Sciences (University of Amsterdam), The Centre for Speech Technology Research (Edinburgh University), and Deutschlandradio Kultur – Hörspiel / Klangkunst, which will air a radio version of the piece later in the year.
