Kubus Concert
20:00 Haar - ConcertGiorgio Klauer » Location: ZKM_Cube
Decomposing sound into particles, sensitivity and masking effects in
auditory perception, friction in bowed instruments are the themes getting
intertwined in this composition and signed in the title: Haar, like
Pferdehaar, Haarzelle, Alfréd Haar.
The sound actuation model is the bowed instrument's, yet it has been implemented through 50-70 cm long, thick, black human hairs gently rubbed against a moving magnet phono cartridge cantilever. The sonic characterization has been afterwards dramatically emphasized by means of a granular composition environment programmed in sclang. In this implementation, envelope, pitch, spatialization, indexing and further grain controls have been imposed by perceptual feature descriptors extracted by the very same sounds, with the result of an anamorphic and multidimensional micro-editing process.

The schedule is a major guideline. There is no guarantee events will take place at the announced timeslot.
