Implanted memories - ECLAT Festival Neue Musik Stuttgart 2026

In her composition "implanted memories", composer lin korobkova confronts man with the seemingly infallible machine and almost incidentally raises the question of identity.

lin korobkova: implanted memories
composed ritual for singing performer and
self-playing arciorgano (UA)

Johanna Vargas, soprano
Johannes Keller, arciorgano/electronics

Remembering something and saving it from oblivion: Where the human voice always deviates slightly from the original when reproducing a melody, for example, thus creating something unique from every moment, digital machines can reproduce flawlessly - including the computer-controlled microtonal arciorgano, "correction instrument" from the 17th century.
In the confrontation between the singer and the machine, lin korobkova simultaneously questions the concept of identity.
