Kubus Concert
20:00 rooms without walls - ConcertClemens von Reusner » Location: ZKM_Cube
"rooms without walls" has been composed 2012 for an array of loudspeakers of 4 x 4 speakers build at the Platz der Weltausstellung (Expo 2000) in Hannover, Germany.
The arrangement of the 16 speakers / light steles in her sculptural appearance in Hanover is strictly geometric. In an abstract way it reminds to geometric spatial divisions in baroque gardens as today still can be found in the Royal Gardens in Hannover.
In the composition "rooms without walls" each four corners of a square define 14 square and overlapping areas of different size and position. In the great square, which forms the entire system, hence 4 medium and 9 small squares are included. These 14 rooms are implemented in a special acoustic method (Ambisonic) as sound "rooms" so that it is possible to place different sounds in each room and to move them in circular orbits simultaneously.
The purely electronically generated sound material (Csound) on which this composition is based upon has been designed in terms of its spectro-morphological development and its structure contrasting with the existing sound of the public space. The relationship of sound events with each other is as well contrasting and similar by varying development. 3rd-order ambisonic spatialization was done with Csound.
Due to the very unique setting of 4 x 4 loudspeakers at the city of Hannover, an 8-channel concert-version of the piece is played.
