Artistic work

The subject of Marcoll's works are repeatedly political and social aspects. The detection of social imbalances e.g. B. he thematized in the installation "Redistribution" in Ditzingen 2010. In his series of works "Compounds" (2008-2014) he combined collected sound material from his immediate surroundings to a "material network" that served to determine the location and the basis for 8 solo and Ensemble compositions was. Other works with a strong political impact are z. B. “Personal Data” from 2013, a “speaking performance for communication monitoring” and “If music be the food of love”, which deals with music used for torture in US secret prisons.

Adhan

Marcoll's piece "Adhan" for carillon and tape, in which Marcoll combined the singing of a muezzin with the bells of a carillon and the sound of a shofar , attracted some attention in 2015, but not previously performed in its original form . The concerts planned for Whitsun 2015 at the Carillon in Berlin's Tiergarten were canceled without replacement after the Carilloneur refused to perform the piece that had been commissioned for the occasion. Marcoll said in interviews that the reason why he wrote the piece is now the reason why it is not performed. "Adhan" has so far only been performed in a special interior version for a church in Berlin-Schöneberg.

Amproprifications

Since 2016 Marcoll research interests include a series of works called " Amproprifications ", a portmanteau of appropriation (assimilation) and amplification ( gain ) are modulated in the existing works by other composers by volume changes in real time.

“Pieces by other composers are expanded with layers of pure reinforcement. The text of the underlying pieces remains completely unaffected. Not a single note is changed, no strange sound is added, nothing is left out. The amproprifications are to a certain extent silent pieces - they contain no sound themselves. They are filters, readings, reshapes of the underlying works. The gains range from slow controller movements to fast chopping to movements that become so fast that new spectra are effectively created, which is technically amplitude modulation, a sister of ring modulation. "

In addition to the acoustic versions, the amproprifications are also available in the form of visualizations. Marcoll transforms the reinforcement levels into two-dimensional graphics, which are shown in exhibitions, among other things.
