about

„ELEVEN minutes“
This piece was composed during my 2018 residency at ELEVEN artspace. One day during my stay, in the hour between eleven a.m. and noon, I recorded eleven minutes of ambience in the patio of the artspace (then very quiet because all the resident artists were probably at work). These eleven minutes of near silence are the basis for „ELEVEN minutes“. They were processed in various ways, among others with a filter effect employing the note E (for ELEVEN) and the frequency of 600 Hz (6 being the number of letters in ELEVEN).

„Serpentin“
Based on sounds generated from the stone sculpture "Hommage à Hans Kayser" by Elmar Daucher (1983), on display at the city library of Neu-Ulm, Germany. The sculpture is made from serpentine and weighs about 3 tons.


„Far-End Crosstalk (Augsburg – Jinan)“
In information technology, far-end crosstalk occurs when a signal at one end of a communication cable is disturbed by a signal from the other end. Here, the soundscape of the Chinese city of Jinan (recorded by Nicolai Volland in 1995) is disturbed by traffic noise from Jinan’s German twin town Augsburg (recorded in 2015). Soundscape theorist Murray R. Schafer has warned that with increasing car traffic, cities around the world will end up having the same “lo-fi soundscape.” Perhaps the Jinan soundscape today sounds (almost) the same as Augsburg? While proposing the reduction of car traffic in Germany and China as the real-world answer to lo-fi soundscapes and air pollution, this piece tries to make some aesthetic sense of noise: the Jinan sounds are modulated with a filter based on frequencies of the note C (for China), the Augsburg sounds are filtered around the note G (for Germany).
