Working with Sounds @ Zeche Zollern

On may 18th was the premiere of Working with sounds, an interactive realtime installation, which gives visitors the possibility to create their own soundscapes and concrete compositions. It’s based on sound material, which origin is from an industrial context.

It was comissioned by the Industriemuseum Zeche Zollern in Dortmund due to the international museums day, where the EU-Project Work with sounds was introduced to the public.

Here are two examples of sounds, that visitors created:

Out of the Fridge @ Linux Audio Conference 2014

I very much enjoyed my visit at the LAC 2014 at the ZKM in Karlsruhe, where I presented Out of the Fridge in the ZKM_Cube. The two channels of the stereo-piece were live diffused by me over the 43 speakers in the Sound dome, using the software Zirkonium.

The concert was also filled with pieces from Luis Valdivia, Fernando Lopez-Lezcano, Clemens von Reusner and Ali Ostovar.

Brothers in Arms

On February, 12th was the premiere of Brothers in Arms, a theater play by Ana Zirner, for which I wrote the music. The premiere took place at the theatre Schwere Reiter in Munich.

About the piece:

Three German actors travel each to Iran and Israel respectively. There they talk to their contemporaries about positive and negative experiences in the military, about their relation with the state and their sense of responsibility within the community. It will be about perceptions of the respective “enemy”, and about how this perception is built. And last but not least it will be about the question of: “What is there is a war between Iran and Israel?”

Back in Germany we transfer this material to theatre. It is thereby important, that the opinions that are stated on our stage are always either literal excerpts of the soldiers testimonies, or personal views of the actors themselves. Through text/language and choreography/movement we want to launch a process that provides our audience with visual thought provoking material.
