Dganit Elyakim: Liberation Through Hearing: Level 2 for Recorders and Electronics (2021) (2021)
By Dganit Elyakim
An interactive opera, based on software architecture in 2-D computer games; an audio-visual, large-scale work that combines a dramatic story, taking place in digital media, with game-like elements. Unlike most computer games, in this opera there is no scoring, no winners or losers; one can only endlessly wander in two-dimensional space while creating the music. The diverse musical layers and their combination with actions put the users amid the drama and at the same time, position them as necessary players in the musical piece. The videos are screenshots, a walkthrough version of the opera.
