about

RHO was composed by Anna Stereopoulou between February and March 2016, as commissioned by the ‘ohrenhoch, der Geräuschladen‘ (ohrenhoch, the Noise Shop) Sound Gallery (Berlin-Neukölln, Germany).
The Audio Booth, for which the present composition was designed, functioned as a simulation of a Womb, while an extra material was requested by the artist, to be added onto the installation. Also, the installation’s structure and speakers’ set-up, motivated the listener to focus on Feeling (vibrations), rather than just Listening. The Listener /Spectator was invited to listen, either inside or outside the booth, and either standing or seated.
The duration of the composition is based on a (repetitive) 20-min Sleep Cycle, whereas its title represents the eternal Flux, heard in the sound of Water traveling to any direction and functioning both as a transmitter and a receiver. Greek liquid consonant letter ‘Rho’ [/ˈroʊ/; Greek: ῥῶ (polytonic)] enters-and-exits our Ear (German: Ohr).
RHO has an ecological, social-cultural and psychoacoustic character and it is inspired by ancient Asclepeions and the healing power of Water and Dream. [Info Article: wp.me/p2zRWp-EJ

A new* version of ‘Rho’ is part of Anna Stereopoulou’s on-going research on the human brain and it is offered in Phase #1 of the NEW International Open CALL of the composer’s worldwide project CIRCE The Black Cut. The Call is available on the following link: wp.me/p2zRWp-G2

* [[ New mix and EQ with the addition of a series of Binaural Beats, throughout the course of the music. The specific frequencies sequence is based on Meditation practices.

AUDITION, preferably, with headphones (of closed type / avoiding ‘In-ear’ or ‘Earbuds’ ones)
