Catalogue of Noises no.2
special piece for ohrenhoch
by Zbigniew Karkowski
Curator: Knut Remond
'ohrenhoch - the Noise Shop' presents another piece "Catalogue of Noises" (no.2) by Zbigniew Karkowski. 'ohrenhoch' thus dedicates two more ohrenhoch Sundays to the 100 YEARS ANNIVERSARY of the musical manifesto "L'arte dei rumori" (1913-2013) by Luigi Russolo.?
As it also coincides with ohrenhoch's 5th anniversary, Zbigniew Karkowski designs another part of his 'Noise Catalogue', for ohrenhoch specially.
The piece is heard over the Bassbox loudspeaker installation in the ohrenhoch basement.

Catalogue of Noises
special piece for ohrenhoch
by Zbigniew Karkowski
Zbigniew Karkowski on 'Catalogue of Noises' [1:11:40]:
my concept is....
as it's 100 years anniversary of 'the art of noises' by luigi russolo i'm preparing a special piece for ohrenhoch which will be kind of 'noise catalogue'.
the piece will consist only of pure noises - like white noise, pink noise, brownian noise, fractal noise, black noise, grey noise, blue noise, violet noise, stochastic noise etc. i have some really good machines and software to generate all these kind of noises so will create interesting and as full as possible catalogue of it.
sort of like 'catalogue d'oiseaux' of olivier messiaen but this time 'catalogue of noises' by zbigniew karkowski.
To the presentation of 'Catalogue of Noises', 'ohrenhoch, the Noise Shop' publishes an illustrated booklet, with an interview by Knut Remond with Zbigniew Karkowski, description of the piece, biography. English/German. Limited edition (10 copies), handmade.
