Out of the Fridge @ Linux Audio Conference 2014
I very much enjoyed my visit at the LAC 2014 at the ZKM in Karlsruhe, where I presented Out of the Fridge in the ZKM_Cube. The two channels of the stereo-piece were live diffused by me over the 43 speakers in the Sound dome, using the software Zirkonium.
The concert was also filled with pieces from Luis Valdivia, Fernando Lopez-Lezcano, Clemens von Reusner and Ali Ostovar.

Verzweigung @ Sweet Thunder Music Festival

Brothers in Arms
On February, 12th was the premiere of Brothers in Arms, a theater play by Ana Zirner, for which I wrote the music. The premiere took place at the theatre Schwere Reiter in Munich.
About the piece:
…
Three German actors travel each to Iran and Israel respectively. There they talk to their contemporaries about positive and negative experiences in the military, about their relation with the state and their sense of responsibility within the community. It will be about perceptions of the respective “enemy”, and about how this perception is built. And last but not least it will be about the question of: “What is there is a war between Iran and Israel?”
Back in Germany we transfer this material to theatre. It is thereby important, that the opinions that are stated on our stage are always either literal excerpts of the soldiers testimonies, or personal views of the actors themselves. Through text/language and choreography/movement we want to launch a process that provides our audience with visual thought provoking material.

U.S.A.P.
Finished my new acousmatic piece Verzweigung for 12 audio channels, which was specially created for the USAP project.
USAP (Urban Solar Audio Plant) is a solar-cell powered, wireless LAN controlled, multichannel sound-installation for public space, created by Peter Eisold and Micha Dawid.
A swarm of mobile loudspeaker columns turns every suitable outdoor area into a spacious and unique “listening park”.
By the large-area spreading of the single sound sources and the 12- channel compositions and soundscapes, this novel instrument gives the visitor an extraordinary listening experience at special urban places or at rural areas.
There will be a large number of USAP performances this season, see more here
