Program notes
Ken Dryden, part of the large Utopia Suite project, is a computer-based projection creating randomly regenerating visual patterns using a hybrid blend of cinematic and web-based technology. 10 Minutes visual looping and re-mixing, as the audio loops independently in 6'59”.
For the audio I used and reworked an old mono-recording of a radio-interview into stereo, and created to this a soundscape out of an original recording of a Turkish football-fans' outdoor victory-party in Rotterdam (recorded from my balcony late at night after the 2008 European Soccer Championship's quarterfinal). To this was added an especially written low timpani part, everything adding to and stressing the dramatic content of the interview, in which the Canadian sports-star, ice-hockey goalkeeper Ken Dryden, at the time already a very public person (he later twice became minister for his country), reveals practices of group sexual abuse in top-sports.
