September 3-14:

KLANGMOORSCHOPFE (Gais, Switzerland)

 

Last Effort in the Countryside

“The work they are showing at Museum Gais is a further development of their series «Último Esfuerzo Rural». These are room-filling kinetic sound installations for which they use everyday objects found on site − in the case of Gais: metal containers ranging from milking buckets to watering cans. They arrange these found objects into whimsical ensembles, set them into vibration and create a surprising sound collage. They thus continue the series of works in which they transform the characteristics and history of objects that are characteristic of a region into a sculptural sound image.”

CISMA (Valencia, Spain)
Concert with Acuática

A vibrant, subtle, living sound installation that turned CISMA into an organism of water, air and resonance.

With full capacity, attendees experienced a unique aquatic concert, where sound was mixed live using hydrophones and air valves in a choreography of bubbles and vibrations.
Thanks to everyone who made it possible, and to Bosch & Simons for sharing their work, their sound, and their generosity.

Carob tree field (Bétera, Spain)

Onsite version of Bang Spring Time

Organised by CISMA

Here we built a new, manually operated, version of Bang Spring Time, designed for this unique site. Two wooden huts serve as resonance chambers for the sounds produced by long metal springs. On the other side of the springs, “El Modulito,” a glass cube, already present in the field, was used as a sound and viewing chamber. Inside the cube, the audience could listen to sounds captured with contact microphones, in addition to those audible in the space.

EACC (Castellón, Spain)

Workshop
LABORATORIO DEL MUNDO VIBRANTE

(“LABORATORY OF THE VIBRANT WORLD”)

 

Participants in this workshop could intuitively explore the world of vibration and resonance by modifying and controlling robots/creatures mounted on metal springs that generate surprising movements and rhythms. The workshop ended with a small concert realised by the participants.
