admin — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 13:36:51 +0000

Like “Berlin, Mitte der Welt” this is a spinoff of the G-Player series. As usual (some of) the sounds are a 1:1 interpretation of topographic data, this time imprinted on a vinyl disk that sits on top of an elaborate object that alludes to planetary motion. Above a chandelier-pendulum with a laser pointer “scratches” across the disk’s grooves which in turn is sonified and played back thru a rotating speaker, part of the above object.

Klangkunst am Bau. A site-specific installation for the courtyard of Musikhochschule Mainz. An organ (mechanical, but electrically controlled) accompanies the acoustic mix coming from 24 rehearsal rooms. Each of these rooms is equipped with a pitch analyzer connected to a server where the overall dominant frequency is determined, that is sent to the organ .

Spinning ping pong balls around 2 axes. Intricate patterns turn into concentric circles.

Also filmed with cameras to be presented on a series of monitors.
