or about rhythmic structures of media

an exhibition of two sound installations curated by Shintaro Miyazaki

with Michael Chinen (*1982, US / Berlin), Thomas Gerwin (*1955, Berlin), Akitoshi Honda (*1977, Berlin / JP), Shintaro Miyazaki (*1980, Berlin / CH / JP), Wolfgang Spahn (*1970, Berlin)

Motto: listening and looking for a music theory of everyday life

In resonance with "OVERLAP - SOUND & OTHER MEDIA" the subject of this years CTM the exhibition will investigate into the rhythmic structures of every day media technology with two very contrasting sound-based installations.

The first installation 2nd Order Diatoms (Michael Chinen, Akitoshi Honda & Shintaro Miyazaki) senses the rhythm of electronic mobile gadgets that you use in your daily life. The electromagnetic waves produced by the little machines get converted to sound and light. 2nd Order Diatoms is also a laser-installation, which creates circular patterns similar to a certain kind of diatoms, one of the oldest life forms of our earth. As artists we ask ourself: "How could LIFE FORM be synthesized?" Our answer: Life form begun in the ancient ocean. In the ancient ocean there were many rhythms and frequencies, such as the waves of the ocean, the volcano's furies and never ending thunders. They mixed with each other and maybe effected the forming of a new life form. We use the frequencies and rhythms of mobile phones to try to form new life forms. We call them "2nd Order Diatoms".

The second installation Spiel-Tisch (Thomas Gerwin & Wolfgang Spahn) is an interactive audiovisual play table. By throwing two dices, 12 differently constructed sound objects and soundscapes are visualized in colorful circular patterns. These structures are inspired by Chladni-Figures - physical phenomena discovered in 1787 by Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni. "Spiel-Tisch" is exploring and creating new and unusual relationships between sounds and pictures.

Thomas Gerwin (Live-Elektronik, Perkussion) / Ulli Götte (Konzertflügel)

In diesem dreiteiligen Konzert wird der gespielte oder geräuschhaft erzeugte Klavier-Klang mit Laptop und Sampler live elektronisch bearbeitet und von vorproduzierten Klängen ergänzt. Teilweise fungiert der Konzertflügel auch als Perkussionsinstrument oder als Schall-Transducer. Der Berliner Komponist und Klangkünstler Thomas Gerwin und der Kasseler Komponist und Pianist Ulli Götte haben für dieses Projekt jeweils eine neue Komposition entwickelt; den dritten Teil des Programms bildet ein gemeinsames Werk mit kleinen musiktheatralischen Elementen.
