Atelierhaus Wachtberg
Am Wachtberg
Gars am Kamp AT
Four loudspeakers span a sound space outdoors. Delicate soft sounds at the threshold of perception emerge from the sounds of nature (wind, rustling leaves etc) in slow panorama changes, emerge from the silence of the place, continue with electronically generated sounds and disappear again.
The soundscape of Wachtberg is mixed with sounds that in their slowness and colorfulness are perceived more as a presence than as a musical manifestation. They leave room for the soundscape of the place, intensify this sound space.
Wachtberg sounding 2
combines sounds from the installation Gars sounding, they consist mainly of processed concrete sounds and noises from the environment of the Gars installation site, which are louder and more direct than the sound material of Wachtberg sounding these will be computer processed and mixed in real time
They will be audible through two so-called hypersonic (-directed audio) sound systems, a new type of loudspeaker. This technology allows for the first time the focusing of sounds. The sound material is transformed into inaudible ultrasonic frequency ranges and then projected in a targeted manner as a "soundbeam" (with a diameter of half a meter to one and a half meters).
These two sound installations Wachtberg sounding 1 and 2
correspond to the works Gars sounding 1 and 2 (and vice versa)
