Sound installation (Premiere)
by Alois Späth
Alois Späth on 'AGNES, TINA, LION & MATHIS":
The tripartite sound installation shown in 'ohrenhoch - the Noise Shop' has grown out of the simple recognition that serially (mass-)produced things and everyday objects look alike for our eyes but reveal their individual own sound and differ from each other, as soon as we listen into their inside, for example by flicking them with a finger and making them sound.
So-called transducers – small special loudspeakers by oscillation that only in contact with objects diffuse their sound through them – are placed on metal hangers, book-stands, glass flower vases and ceramic saucers as resonating bodies.
The serially produced IKEA furniture objects reproduce sounds of quite normal everyday situations, living spaces and experiences. Each object with its own sound resonates with the sound being played back on it, and colors it, whereas its own sound slightly to strongly differs from the own sound of the other object which visually seems identical.
In the overall impression it can be heard that the single objects provide a seemingly musical sound garment to the played-back basic sound and make the sound wander at times through the installation by "resonating" in different ways - much the same as in a surround or multichannel installation.
[Translation from German: Katharina Moos]
Relating to the question "sound activism" with which ohrenhoch deals in 2015, Alois Späth writes:
"Sound, when made and heard by humans, creates self-definition and individuality. Sound art, as every art form, transports empowerment. Self-definition and individuality further and further create diversity and variety, which in turn multiply. [Translation from German: K.Moos]
