Solo for Motors and Kinetic Air, a performative sound installation explores physical forces in action with a captivating elegance. It reveals the bodily relationships between instrument, devices and space. Solo for Motors and Kinetic Air, reflects Papalexandri's fascination of the forces of nature and the phenomena of physics—friction, electricity, vibration—making us wonder at what we see and hear. It combines acoustic prepared instruments (recorders, woodwinds) and motor driven sound objects with mechanical devices for moving air ( centrifugal fan, gebläsen), that function both as sound sources themselves -autonomous sound objects- and as active preparations that determine speed, dynamics and other musical parameters. The result is a slow, purposeful «unfolding» of sound: an intense procedural sequence of elegant motion movements produces complex and
