rikm Beginning with the sound of an oscillating drone, "Riff" is a thoroughly engaging exploration of aural spaces. Scanner has always had a strong understanding of creation and growth in their work, and this latest release is an excellent example of that understanding in action.

chris77550 Another great soundscore by Scanner. It must be heard with headphones to perceived all the details that compose this work and progressively you could imagine a new choregraphy, another expression of movement.

Riff 09:50

about

Riff is a solo work by Matthias Sperling exploring the concept of sampling movement and choreography, set to an original soundscore by Scanner. Riff is based directly on sampled excerpts of three other works: William Forsythe's Solo, Shobana Jeyasingh's Transtep and Laila Diallo's Out of sight in the direction of my body.

Riff sets out to create a new and autonomous work using only the choreographic material of these sampled excerpts, each 30 seconds long. Through an intricate process of segmenting, recombining and manipulating the sample material, a highly personal journey toward the evolution of an individual choreographic voice emerges.
