Electroacoustically amplified bass and double bass flutes
Special amplification and custom-made microphones allow Ziegler to approach his instruments with an acoustic magnifying glass —amplifying the details of the acoustic sounds inside the tube of the flute, his percussive effects, and enhancing the various tonal colours he produces. This reveals sounds that are reminiscent of trombone movements or an a-capella choir in one passage and sine tones of electronic music in the next. This new level of sounds – the bass flute contains an entire orchestra – opens up new improvisational and compositional possibilities.
