Audio & Video: On the threshold between analog and digital

For all those who could not attend the last event An der Schwelle zwischen analog und digital (On the threshold between analog and digital) or want to listen to the audio material again, here are all the music and sound pieces of the WAVE AKADEMIE für Digitale Medien students and me for the artworks of Valentina Murabito.

The feedback from the visitors, as well as from Valentina, was extremely positive. Let me know what you think about my experimental piece “Animal Locomotion”.

I also cut an aftermovie for the event. Enjoy!

On the threshold between analog and digital

One of the artworks called Animal Locomotion will be set to music by me. I am deeply impressed by what all the other musicians have done so far after I have already auditioned! All pieces of music matching the pictures can then be heard on location.

During Berlin Art Week 2020, the WAVE AKADEMIE für Digitale Medien in cooperation with Valentina Murabito will be hosting an intermedia exhibition. On display are 11 works of art, including large-format analog photographs and photographic frescoes.

The SOUNDDESIGN students of the WAVE AKADEMIE will set the artworks to music. The young musicians process the associations that arise as a result of the visual perceptions of the pictures via the sounds and noises into musical compositions.

ENTRY FREE!

Studio build

This spring I moved into a nice studio, which I have already almost completely furnished.

Two things will happen in the next weeks. First, a good colleague is building an audio computer for me, which will be an absolute “work monster”. I’ve never had such a crazy machine under my fingers before and I’m already quite nervous.

On the other hand I ordered professional acoustic absorbers made of Basotect. The plan was originally to build such things myself, but since the craftsmanship and time involved would be quite considerable and I couldn’t be sure that the quality would be convincing, I decided on the finished version, although it is more expensive. But the weight alone makes it much lighter than a DIY block. This also plays into my hands. A partial delivery has already arrived and soon I will install everything.

The DIY project will be realized one day, because I really want to produce such absorbers myself. You can make them for your home. Because even there the acoustics are often not that great.

An exciting time and I’m looking forward to giving it a real boost soon.

In the studio

I am totally happy that I have moved into my new studio. There is still a lot to do. First of all I want to build and install several acoustic absorbers myself. Nevertheless I have worked on various music. Here are three impressions.

Currywurst Cowboy official soundtrack

Here it is. The official soundtrack I wrote and produced for the short film “Currywurst Cowboy”, written and directed by Christian Scheffer at WAVE AKADEMIE für Digitale Medien in Berlin.

The intention was to create some kind of retro sound like from the 60’s and 70’s with its raw imperfection. The sound track is based on the ideas from spaghetti western movies or buddy films like those with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill. With a touch of Oliver Onions and Ennio Morricone.

It was a pleasure to be part of this awesome project! I hope to see the movie online as soon as possible. 🙂
