Notes

Tactilum has been conceived as aural and physical sound stimulus destined for children with
hearing lose combined with autism and learning disabilities. Installation was developed in the
project Mus-e (Yehudi Menuhin Foundation) and placed in school La Chanterelle in Brussels,
Belgium. Composed, designed and recorded by Slavek Kwi, April - May 2000.
Recorded direct-to-mic from installation unit.

The composition is divided in two sections:
Section 1: A fragmented catalogue of sounds creates a multi-dimensional relationship attempting to build concentration.
Section 2: An extended soundscape containing similar constructions within environmental stream of sounds stimulating
associations with previous sections, developing rather a calming flow - monotonous pulsation which encompasses a
variety of textures and colours. As whole section unfolds, creating a meditative atmosphere, suspending notion of time.
