about

The work Cape Dimensions connects directly to Starcke’s dissertation Aspects of Landscape Music (2012) and was composed during his Masters in Composition studies at the South African College of Music, University of Cape Town. Although this work was not included as part of his official composition portfolio at the time, it stands as a residual, acousmatic sound piece exploring concepts and effects discussed within the dissertation. Starcke used several field recordings that he made at various sites in the Western Cape, South Africa, including Betty’s Bay, Kalk Bay, Swellendam, Darling, Salt River etc, arranged with electric guitar, electric bass, voice and laptop/synthesizer samples digitally constructed and manipulated into various sonic scenes and composed soundscapes. 

Cape Dimensions is essentially designed to instigate imagery of personal memory in the listener’s mind - as well as that of the more phantasmagorical elements of nature and humanity, in other words transport the listener to ‘other’ imaginative spaces between reality and imagination. A familiar yet alien and immersive sound world.
