The principle is to listen and answer, to create a platform of freed communication. Potential Difference Collective aims to achieve and research non-binary forms of collectivity, instant joined statuses without borders of physical being, social categories, gender or hierarchies.

The collective produced and created several recordings, events, performances and public open improvisation platforms in the field of electroacoustic music and sound over the course of 2018-2019

The Game of Unspoken Language,
Helsinki central library Oodi, front yard 06/2019

We wanted to discover and play with loops of a society. Language of the city and it’s people was found through a game, by playing with familiar and already almost forgotten everyday architecturally hidden objects.

We constructed the tubes to amplify all the recorded experiments with the objects and voice. Tubes were built from aluminium pipes and dissembled office chairs. The sound generated through cassette players connected to bluetooth speakers hidden inside the tubes. All the tubes were free to play around within a circle formed by the objects.

The Game of Enlightened Language,
Black Box, Music hall Helsinki 04/2019

The performance explores patterns of human behaviour in a loop of replacement. There are light seekers and translators going around, seeking and speaking the infrastructures of contemporary human. Inspector is converting everyday objects to sound, conserving recorded objects into plastic bags, creating an archive of the tools one once had to have in order to be a person. This space is a moment of unbuilding, restart of human consumer identity and imagined post-capitalistic confusion.
everyday objects + piezo microphones = cassette loops

projection backpacks + light sensors on sticks = light and pitch modulation effect

code(spatialized delay + pitch modulation effect + volume) + theatre microphones + voice + cassette loops x 8 speakers = sound

Sound is affected by the light from the projections. The amount of light hitting the light sensor is controlling the pitch modulation effect that is one part of the code. The code controls the data of performers’ voices coming through theatre microphones. Together with cassette loops the voices create an intense atmosphere channeling from 8 speakers spread around the space
