Vibrate Space
“Vibrate Space” reflects the urban space as an acoustic space of motion. The installation picks up the motion of the surrounding public area which is mainly used for motion – jogging, walking ... The acoustic movement of the air is the translation of the movement of the city.
6 musicians from different areas of electronic music develop one composition for the public space. The 8-channel sound installation will extend at the area of the centralgarden of over 400 square meters, which is used by passengers, neighbors, children etc. in many different ways. The piece of music varies over 12 hours and through 8 loud-speakers. The different sounds at different places of that area are in a permanent movement and are changing sound and space.
Participating musicians: Nik Hummer, Electric Indigo, Bernhard Gal, Elisabeth Schimana, Florian Schmeiser, Peter Szely
As a part of the festival Coded Cultures, “Vibrate Space” is used for performances, which use the installation for a live-set.
