    Proposal for Historisches Museum Baden (Switzerland) within DAS OHR DER ZEIT- Projektwettbewerb-Klangintervention im Historisches Museum Baden.

    Specifically designed for the spaces of Landvogteischloss, Music For Distances is a particular chordal-ramified sound environment, based on a different notion of borders.

    Entirely made with pre-recorded and electronically processed sounds from the metallic stairway in the Erweiterungsbau’s main entrance, the environment starts with the resonance of the spiral staircase, obtained through low-volumetric frequencies emitted by two subwoofers located at its ends, to continue on the four floors of the castle, situating rays of medium-high, linear frequencies using uniquely directional-supercardioid loudspeakers in order to create sensitive spaces of listening defined by dynamic, flexible boundaries.

    In a quasi-improvisation with space –which becomes an extended, ramified instrument–, visitors will move in and out of varied zones of dynamics and harmonic timbres, in a continuous shift in volume and sound according to their pace and orientation.

    An architectural performance through a nomadic listening experience.

    (2009, unrealized proposal)

    TECHNICAL INFORMATION:

    Two subwoofers situated at the foot and at the top of the spiral staircase plus 9 directional loudspeakers distributed on the four floors of the castle.

    9 x RL 140 directional speaker 80° à cone (-6dB) mounted in-wall * 2 x dB SUB05 15“ * 10 x CD/MP3 players pro zone

    – wiring connections

    *recommended
