To hear on Sunday 23 and 30 September 2012, 2pm - 9pm:
untitled 0808
(2008, World Premiere)?
by Francisco López
ohrenhoch presents on Sunday 23 and 30 September 2012 the new loudspeaker installation "BassBox" in the ohrenhoch basement (Prussian vaulted ceiling).
BassBox will be inaugurated with the piece by Francisco López "untitled 0808" created specially for ohrenhoch.
The new loudspeaker installation is a construction conceived especially for acousmatic tape pieces with strong basses.
BassBox at the same time is also a loudspeaker conception which involves and expands the rooms or spatial sound in most multifaceted ways.
BassBox quasi is the center with the bass - and from this box the other rooms can be played on acoustically with additional loudspeakers collaterally.
The classic ceiling loudspeaker installation in the shop space will be maintained as a matter of course. So from 23 September 2012 there will be two sound systems at ohrenhoch.
The idea of BassBox was realized by Knut Remond, and the technical development and the transport case were made by Georg and Jonas Morawietz.
ohrenhoch with Katharina Moos and Knut Remond is pleased to offer you another highlight in the Sound Gallery with BassBox. The choice of the pieces or compositions for ohrenhoch will be even wider and most multifaceted.
Francisco López is internationally recognized as one of the major figures of the sound art and experimental music scene. Over the past 30 years he has developed an astonishing sonic universe, absolutely personal and iconoclastic, based on a profound listening of the world. Destroying boundaries between industrial sounds and wilderness sound environments, shifting with passion from the limits of perception to the most dreadful abyss of sonic power, proposing a blind, profound and transcendental listening, freed from the imperatives of knowledge and open to sensory and spiritual expansion.
He has realized hundreds of concerts, projects with field recordings, workshops and sound installations in over 60 countries of the five continents. His extensive catalog of sound pieces (with live and studio collaborations with over 150 international artists) has been released by more than 250 record labels worldwide. He has been awarded three times with honorary mentions at the competition of Ars Electronica Festival and is the recipient of the Qwartz Award 2010 for best sound anthology.
