outcry
for Bassbox
(2015, Premiere)
by Knut Remond
Loudspeaker installation 'Bassbox': 'ohrenhoch, der Geräuschladen' Knut Remond.
Knut Remond on 'outcry':
"outcry" is a personal piece, and at the same time it is within the context of the questions to "sound activism".
I have underlined two of the questions in the text "sound activism":
1. Fathom the agency of the acoustic.?
2. How can I influence things to action(s) without operating with language?
The piece "outcry" came into being by chance, that is: with a piano I tried out some preparations for a sound-object basis for young pupils who are in the tight corset of the western classical music traditions and the so-called pop music and trapped in it.
