unerwartete schleifen

sound-installation

2011


format: turntable (var), amplifier, speaker, metal

 

unerwartete schleifen is designed for a variable number of record players,

the sound being provided by defective records, which produce a continuous repetitiv pattern (loop or ostinato). the defect in the medium provides the

initial basis. the speed of the records is varied by means of a microcontroller and the arrangement recorded not as a musical score but as a timeline in code. the decontextualisation of the sound and the changing attention focus create a sound character, while the combination of patterns and their manipulation over time produce a new formal "music from music" structure.
