Muzak Architectures @ [H:UMMMM]

On February 9, 2017 - art, urban needle

Muzak Architectures is a work by Ingo Randolf and based on an adaption of his installation urban needle. How does it sound if the needle of a record-player is not put on a record, but plays back a room? Instead of a rotating record it would be the needle spinning in the room, turning the principles of a record player inside out. The room carries all the informations of the sounds which are usually played in the wellness spa Hummelhof and is a wave-shaper at the same time. The room is a muzak territory which is sounded out by a hard listening scanbot.

urban needle – new recordings

On July 10, 2015 - projects, Uncategorized, urban needle

urban needle scans rooms and urban spaces in an automated process, transforming the shape of the room into sound.
like a record needle, it plays back a room producing room-based noise. the room is the reel.

SoR-I

On November 6, 2014 - projects, urban needle

sonification of rooms (SoR) is a series of projects to translate rooms into sound. starting point was a concert of vinyl terror and horror in 2013 imagining a record needle turning in the room, instead of having a rotating record. how would that sound?

a first version was presented at the schmiede in hallein 2014. a point laser was scanning a room in an automated process playing back the measurement, creating a slowly changing noise.

SoR-I was kindly supported by micro-epsilon

“urban needle” uses the same principle for sonifying urban spaces.
