Ballhaus Naunynstrasse July 10 - 21, 2007
Sometimes sound surrounds the listener like a cat circling around a mouse. Then we get the impression that it is almost visible. No matter that we neither know where exactly it is nor where it is heading - it seems to be part of the room. You can call it sound design or sound architecture (when it creates and works within a whole space).
The branch of study "Experimentelle Klanggestaltung" (experimental sound design) at the "Universität der Künste" in Berlin offers 13 of its master students the possibility to showcase their skills and ideas during the exhibition " X-sounds" (July 10th - July 21st). The results offer a sampling of the broad variety that is possible in this field.
Some are esoteric like "The Varanasi Tapes", an audiovisual installation by Helmut Mittermaier, who turns found sounds from a voyage to India into music. Others use space like Valeria Merlini, who created a walkable radio play. And some use irony to throw a critical glance at the mechanisms of capitalism like "The Sound of Value" by Satoshi Morita. It turns the alternating curves of the stock market into musical scores.
But all of them will take place somewhere at the "Ballhaus Naunynstrasse" in Berlin and promise to be exciting journeys into sound and its speculative and practical applications.
