The latest phono project is the autonomic interpretation: HereComposition is understood as a historical work, that can be constantly "updated" and altered with every new interpretation: the score can change instrumentation and keys, the timeline can be read in different ways and different tempo, the players can change between their score-voices, the dynamics can be changed and own preparations, electronics and new developed playing techniques can be added. The score is understood as a dynamic system, a landscape of signs where the interpreters perambulate. The interpretation is a relation between work and players. The composer becomes an unknowing teacher who lets the interpreter on his own path - it's a matter of making decisions.

For example: the composition nomos alto 6.9 written by M: Renkel, written in a kind of 12-tone, free tonal late romantic style to have an idiomatic reference that is altered more and mor, played in an interpretation that is quite near to the original: listen.
The next interpretation of the same piece uses additional preparations and own developed playing techniques: listen.
The third autonomic interpretation uses additional live electronics, organ, clavinett: listen.
The fourth interpretation, still the same piece nomos alto 6.9: listen.

listen to all of the four autonomic interpretations here

The same can be done with other compositions / different composers. At the moment we are working and experimenting with own material but also pieces for example by Anton Webern, Violeta Dinescu, Hans Werner Henze and Luciano Berio...
