I am currently working on an new RjDj scene called “Eden”, inspired by Stansliaw Lem’s great science fiction novel Eden. What I am trying to create is a hybrid between a game soundtrack and reactive music. You can navigate a starship around and discover some extra musical content. But be careful, gravity pulls you towards an alien world called Eden!

“The Birds according to Oskar Sala” is a radioplay by Ammer & Console. The play was staged live at the German Museum in Munich 16th and 18th July 2010. I equiped the plastic crow in the picture above with a G-force sensor using a wireless eowave sensor box. The bird screamed and fluttered depending on how it was moved and was used on stage by the actor playing Hitchcock’s part.

Oskar Sala is a german composer and pioneer of electronic music who created the soundtrack for Hitchcock’s The Birds using his custom built instrument the Trautonium.

Does It Sound Like I Was Here? reacts to the sounds surrounding the listener and incorporates them in the installation. With mobile devices, headphones and a microphone, the installation accompanies the listeners in their everyday lives and creates an extended, acoustic reality. The software is at the heart of this and determines how the composition reacts to conditions and changes in the listeners’ sonic environment. Pics on flickr. Sound on Soundcloud. Video on youtube.

I made a scene called Unowis for the RjDj app. It accumulates loud sounds from your environment and plays them back using granular synthesis in realtime. Besides that it features some string sounds that are constantly modulated and filtered in various ways.

Vegaschleife is an installation that evloved out of the work I was doing with Acid Pauli for RjDj. It is shown from  16.7.-12.9.2009 at Platform3. Vegaschleife listens to percussive sounds in the environment, records them, and plays them back in rhythmic patterns.
