"Plastictube" consists of 4 parts:

Sound performance, Liverecording, CD-ROM and installation.

 

Sound performance:

"Plastictube" is performed in an empty water container into a water tower under special site specific conditions. The conceptual idea is to use the unique conditions in the container as an acoustic analogy to the hydrostatic principal of communicating vessels. I work simultaniously on a digital and analog level. That means realtime composition oscillating between conceptional sound preparation and improvisation with the spacial specifics. From digital equipment I play loops and samples which I influence by various filters by duration of time. At the same time I use a prepared plastictube for catching arising sound-architectures on the analog level. A microphone inside the tube and special devices serve for generating monochrome sound escapades and bizarre feedbackloops which return into the space.

Liverecording:

The performance will be recorded on an acoustical and visual level. ( Audio: microphones in the container, harddisk- recording / Video: miniDV )

CD-ROM:

Immediatly after the performance there is following a production of a CD-ROM in a limited edition of 100 numbered and signed copies from parts of the liverecording.

Installation:

On the scene of the performance there is a permanent mixed-media-installation, from which the audience will be able to copy a multiple by itself and take it away for free.
