The process at work in Increments involves both artists repeatedly layering and recording drum sound and room tones in a work of layered repetition which pays homage to the work of composer Alvin Lucier. The piece, which develops over the course of five hours, invites attendees to experience a transition from sparse, clear sounds into a dense soundfield of rhythm and feedback tones, and to immerse themselves in enveloping sound. Increments has been developed with the support of L1 Association (Budapest), Ponderosa (Stolzenhagen) and Ausland (Berlin).
