Soirée acousmatique

An acousmatic sound is by definition a sound whereof the origin is unknown. In Soirée Acousmatique (Acousmatic evening), Schallfeld Ensemble presents an itinerary concert built upon the spaces of the Grazer Kunstverein. A site specific multimedia experience in which the relationship between acoustic instruments and the electronic is constantly exchanging, ranging from the acousmatic tradition (Berio’s Thema Omaggio a Joyce) to a more performative experimental approach (van Eck’s Wings), exploring the acoustic of the spaces of the Gallery, through the realization of a live version of Lucier’s I’m sitting in a room, and conceiving acoustic instruments as acousmatic sound sources.
