Installation
14:00 Cancelled: acoustic cluster (video presentation)(135 min) Mari Ohno » Location: Installation Space
A number of pipes of different lengths suspended within a space each contain a microphone and are equipped with a freely movable speaker assembly beneath them. The distance between each speaker assembly and microphone is expressed in the "howling" acoustic response. Having divided the space with pipes, moving the speaker assemblies closer to the spaces within the pipes amplifies the otherwise insignificant howling in the space outside the pipes, producing a sound like that of a wind instrument. The pitch of these responses varies with the spatial properties of each pipe. This series of phenomena seeks to make audible the normally inaudible material of space.

Concert
20:00 speaking clock - ConcertMari Ohno » Location: Roter Saal
This work is an electroacoustic composition created with the recordings of speaking clocks in various sites around the world. A speaking clock is a tool of sonification of "time", a phenomenon people cannot hear. It has various expressions of time depending on the country or region. In this work, the music mixes various expressions of time, based on the concept of "the expression of time perception". Through this work, I attempt to give listeners curious and unique feelings through the same sound experience depending on their cultural background.
The schedule is a major guideline. There is no guarantee events will take place at the announced timeslot.
