    Giudecca island, Venice, Italy
    Giudecca is a piece that arises entirely from one field recording sampled in the Giudecca island of Venice in 2013. The recording captured church bells chiming from a close distance, from the fast and powerful tolls descending to the sparse and delicate and ending to almost silence where just the sound of the tense oscillating rope is hearable. The bells recording has been cut and digitally modified in variable manners, detaching it from its natural sound but without loosing its particular timbre. The track has been entirely created in four days (08-11 July 2014). Composed in Logic.

    Sara Pinheiro

    Eine Komposition von:
    I am a sound-maker. I do sound for film and video art. On my own, I make acousmatic pieces, usually for multichannel performances, radio broadcasts or gallery-based installations. My research and practice are dedicated to incorporate the theory of soundscape and musique concrète in sound for film, namely foley art. To research a practice of foley art in the acousmatic world, and vice versa, I have been working on a concept of "acousmatic foley". Since 2012, I am a guest lecturer at The Institute of Sonology, in The Hague. Currently, I am also collaborating with the Center of Audiovisual Studies in Famu, Prague. From September 2014, I will be fully dedicated to my project "Acousmatic Foley Performances", a live set that results from my research in "acousmatic foley", with the kind support of Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
    den haag here & there is the product of the first living experiences i went through in this city, the sounds that composed my daily-life. a collection of sounds, somewhere between unplanned and detailed choices, which result in the idea that sound has no borders or physical limitations (...).

  • Laut Fahrplan

    Volkmar Klien

    Eine Komposition von:
    Volkmar Klien (Komposition) , in Zusammenarbeit mit Thomas Grill (Elektronik)
    laut fahrplan wider die normative kraft des faktischen eine wirklichkeitsüberarbeitung in echtzeit ein projekt von volkmar klien und thomas grill stört das radio, dreht man es ab. wenn es das radio des nachbarn ist, kann das schwierig werden. ist der nachbar nicht bloß ein älterer herr ohne hörgerät, sondern eine staatliche eisenbahngesellschaft mit ihren fernzügen, wird alles noch viel, viel komplizierter. hat man schon kaum macht über den klang seiner umgebung (das ist es nämlich, wovon die grille im baum eigentlich singt), so soll man zumindest nicht passiv hinnehmen, was aktiv umgedeutet werden kann. denn selektive wahrnehmung ist eine herrschaftsform. es findet also ein konzert an der bahn, eine re-kontextualisierung laut fahrplan, statt. jedem zug widmet sich ein musiker und baut um, aus und mit dessen klängen sein ding. ein triebwagen kommt, verwandelt sich in einen wunderschönen, glitzernden schmetterling und flattert davon. hören ist immer auch ein konstruktiver, kreativer akt. 'laut fahrplan' zieht in normale wahrnehmungsstrukturen zusätzliche ebenen ein, überarbeitet die wirklichkeit in echtzeit und befreit so den menschen aus dem würgegriff der macht des faktischen. ua, bzw. erste intervention: 20.9.2008 an der westbahn im vkk eichgraben
