A vibrating instrument to create ephemeral dynamic motion sound sculptures
Acousmatics (acousma in Greek means “aural cognition“) is the cognitive science of listening; a listening to listening. To make this possible, unheard sounds and compositions are projected through an orchestra of loudspeakers: the Acousmonium.
Over the past ten years, Thomas Gorbach and Marco Schretter have developed The Vienna Acousmonium, a unique setting of loudspeakers, hardware and control units that allow the projection of oeuvres as concerts or permanent sound installations. Accompanying this development, Gorbach invented a specific interpretive technique: ephemeral dynamic motion sound sculptures – a method for the spatial distribution of intrinsic sonic space information.
