The multichannel, spatialised musical piece …to dear incomprehension, or the pieces of the personal waiting composed by Hrvoje Pelicarić continues his exploration of the relationship between perceptions of sound and space, drawing from a database of sounds collected from previous experiments and research. The live performance of the work starts from a pre-fixed sonic content and includes live mixing and manipulation, processing, and spatialisation. The real-time manipulation of sound takes place using objects as filters for processing, emphasising the physical aspect of the sonic medium and its distribution in space.

This work is also part of an internal exploration of my own creative processes, or more precisely, certain associations and thoughts from which my creative processes begin – ones that often, and unintentionally, gradually become my obsession. These situations are sometimes sonic, sometimes spatial, perceptual, and at times synesthetic. They also have their own atmosphere. My brain works like this: an idea appears in the form of a situation that I soon begin to unravel, analyse, interpret, participate in, and then shape into a form that I believe suits the idea itself. At a certain point in life, I became aware of the existence of apophenia and accepted it as a principle by which I largely operate – and which, I would later realise, has accompanied me throughout my life. When used for creative purposes, it has great potential, and in my case, it seems to help me create the effect of a synesthetic whole. – Hrvoje Pelicarić
