Mondosis 1-20 min was conceived and realized by Christopher Dell as theoretical and musical performance plug-in for Loris Gallery, Berlin between 2007 and 2009. The work was presented as a serial cycle that took place over a period of two years. Each musical performance consisted of a specific time format, called Fonds. The Fonds are timeblocks, which are measured in minutes. That is, while a series of twenty solo performances on Vibraphone were realized, each performance was using one possible time frame out of a duration pool between one minute and twenty minutes. The chosen time frames were then serialized in the performance itself. The signification x:y in the title of the respective executed performances indicates the order of performances in the first digit and the amount of minutes in the second digit.
