Offen ab 21 Uhr, Konzerte pünktlich ab 22 Uhr.
RINUS VAN ALEBEECK [live, nl]
musste in seinem Leben nur einmal an Krücken gehen. Abgesehen davon, dass er mit einem nutzlosen Fuss umgehen musste, mochte er es irgendwie. Seinen Blick auf die Stadt und ihren Verkehr hat sich geändert: Alles war für ihn langsamer. Ein kontinuierlicher Fluss des Lebens, der in seine Stadt gekommen war. Es fühlte sich friedlich an. Rinus bewegte sich in einem Tempo von etwa 176,4 Meter pro Stunde vorwärts. Die Erde dreht sich etwa zehntausend mal schneller. Rinus van Alebeek arbeitet mit Magnet-Tapes, die er in dieser gemütlichen Geschwindigkeit über den Tonkopf gleiten lässt. Für seine Performance zeichnet er eigentümliche Klänge auf. Je nach Beschaffenheit und Zustand der Abspielgeräte verändert sich der Klang der Aufnahmen. Intuitiv hören wir andere Geräusche, assoziieren wir die Sounds mit eigenen Bildern im Kopf und tauchen in die kreisenden Bewegungen der Bänder ein. Bei soviel Liebe zum Magnetband erstaunt es einen nicht, dass Rinus auch das legendäre Tape-Label Staaltape betreibt.

KASPAR KÖNIG [live, ch]
spielt meistens mit Instrumenten der Marke Eigenbau und darüber hinaus lässt er sich vor Ort inspirieren und baut nicht selten ein Stück Architektur in seiner Performance mit ein. Mit seiner Musik und Klängen provoziert er den Homo Ludens immer wieder aufs neue. Nimmst du ernst was er tut oder kaspert er nur ernsthaft herum?

Kaspar König, Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter FSP Transdisziplinarität,
Department Kulturanalysen und Vermittlung
Kaspar König entwickelt aus einer Fensterglasscheibe ein Instrument,
welches seinerseits Teile des Raumes als Instrument verwendet.
Die Töne, die mit einem Bogen und herkömmlichen Cello-Saiten
entstehen, klingen ganz anders als gewohnt: sie kommen aus dem
Glas, das sowohl nach innen als nach aussen resoniert.

0 Comments Published by Administrator January 9th, 2013 in workshopsGestern war ein wunderbarer 3-königlicher Anfang von 2013. Mit dem Workshop im ZKM ging es los. Mit dem Projekt Klang_Bau_Stelle haben wir die Besucher eingeladen die Eingangshalle des ZKM^s zu untersuchen und die Klänge mit Hilfsmittel zu entlocken. Es war eine Freude die Teilnehmer mit auf Klangreise zu nehmen. Mit der Feedback Schaltung und Schläger wie auch mit den Superballs ist es uns gelungen 25min Klangmaterial zu sammeln und das Gebäude an sich an zu regen. Gerade David Tudor experimentierte schon mit den Feedback der Dinge und liess TeilnehmerInnen in seinen Workshop feedback erzeugen an hängende Objekte.

0 Comments Published by Administrator July 26th, 2012 in 4 koningenBeste Vrienden van de Stichting de 4 Koningen,
Voor een enkeling is de vakantie al begonnen en voor een enkeling alweer voorbij, in het laatste geval begint het nieuwe seizoen van ARM dan helemaal op tijd. We hebben iets te vieren want onze eerste Artist in Recidency zit er bijna op en zal zoals beloofd met een tentoonstelling in het Old hickory plein afgesloten worden. Lucia von Rhein laat zien wat een onderzoek en een oponthoud van 2 maanden in Maastricht zoal met iemands artistieke weergave doet. Een uitwisseling van taal en tekens is ons als AIRM team goed bevallen. Intensief werd er samengewerkt en dat kan worden bewondert a.s. zaterdag om 19 uur en dit wordt ook nog eens omlijst door andere artiesten.

Resonate >> Luminale 2012 >> Klangkunst und Komposition
0 Comments Published by Administrator April 26th, 2012 in design, news, performances, sound
The Luminale in Frankfurt is unfortunately over however it was a full succes. If I see the pictures with people waiting up to 2 hours to see what is in, i feel gratitute. The installation is designed by the FH Mainz (interior Design Master) and the HfM Mainz (Music) where I’m graduating for a master in Soundart and Composition. The Objects in the boat sound all differently. Accompanied by a drone composition the installation is experiencable as a hugh string instrument that lights up and reflects the intensity of your impuls towards the strings. The video gives a good representation of the objects and the Interaction mode as the umbrella mode. Press for more info hier/here
Die Luminale ist vorbei. In der Nacht der Museen in Frankfurt am Main am 21.4. sind die letzte Zuschauer von dem Cassian Carl herunter gekommen. Wir aber sind noch immer gut drauf und schauen wie wir die öffentlichkeit noch weiter mit dem Projekt begeistern können. Sowohl die Luminale als auch die Nacht der Museen hat uns viel Aufmerksamkeit gebracht.

Graag zou ik met dit beeld mijn dank uitspreken voor de tijd vol met verrassende kunst die we al hebben mogen weten waar te maken. Ook in 2012 gaan we hier lekker mee door. Ondanks de geringere erkenning en respect van de regering en overheid willen we kunst en cultuur iedere keer weer actualiseren en hebben daarvoor nog meer vriendinnen en vrienden nodig die ons ondersteunen met kleine en grote geste.

Tingel Tangel >>24.& 25. juni 2011>> Chäslager Stans
0 Comments Published by Administrator June 4th, 2011 in performances, sound
Der klangvolle Titel der zweitägigen Kunstchilbi im Chäslager hat seinen Ursprung im Berlin der 1870er Jahre; Wer als Künstler nicht etabliert war und durch die Provinz ‘tingelte’, wurde abschätzig in die Schublade der wandernen Kleinkunst – des Tingel Tangels – geworfen. Im danach benannten Festival steht der Begriff für die unterschiedlich betitelten Amusement Kreise der Unterhaltungskultur des späten 19. Jahrhunderts. Das Festival vereint populäre- und bildende Kunst in einer spartenüberbordenden Zusammenstellung verschiedenster künstlerischer Positionen. Das straffe Bühnenprogramm wird nebst längeren Produktionen in kurze Showblöcke gegliedert, in welchen bizarre Darbietungen skurrilster Art zu sehen sind; Exotisch, akrobatisch, grotesk: Für jeden ist etwas dabei! Hereinspaziert und Manege frei!

finally after installing a lot of cables speakers and sound-technology, we’ve been able to set the Soundinstallation up. The project from Prof. Kiefer and the HfM in Mainz is already a succes before the start. Opening is this friday, but the installation will be in progress until 15 th of october. Also Florian Dombois installed his hornitos (small erruptive vulcanic ovens) that sound like a burst is not far away. Alvin Curran and Tilman Küntzel will also participate.

Closed Published by Administrator February 13th, 2011 in workshopsIn het project ‘Art Verde’ (Groene Kunst) willen we met drie kunstwerken, gemaakt van afvalmateriaal, het thema duurzaamheid bij stadsjongeren onder de aandacht brengen. Onder leiding van Kaspar König, een kunstenaar dierecycling en hergebruik in zijn bloed heeft, zijn 3 van onze studenten aan de slag gegaan met afvalmateriaal, plastics en oud speelgoed. Zij zijn gekomen tot meerdere verassende kunstwerken die ons uitdagen om verder te denken over duurzaamheid. Continue reading ‘ART VERDE Opening >> 27 jan 17u >> Brusselsestraat 56′

Wij willen jullie graag uitnodigen voor de opening van de “On the Wing” tentoonstelling. 5e December verzorgen Harold Schellinx, Rod Summers en Kaspar König een middag à la surprise. Het spektakel begint om 15u in het Brandweer Capucijnenstraat 21, 6211 RN Maastricht «On the Wing» is een tentoonstelling gebaseerd op «Waiting in the Wings» 2009.Het is een poging om een vergankelijke kunstvorm in een duurzame stoffelijke vorm over te dragen. De tentoonstelling is dan ook niet als een documentatie van het performance-festival bedoeld, maar als een autonoom «kunst-stuk», een installatie met een begin en een eind. De relicten van de performances creëren samen met video- en sound-documenten nieuwe verhalen, en vergroeien op deze manier tot een inloopinstallatie. De bezoekers zijn fysiek betrokken en verbonden met het decor. On the Wing is een toneelachtige, toegankelijke tentoonstelling met een veranderlijke, wandelende inborst. De installatie is van de 5e tot de 19e December te gast in `t Brandweer. Continue reading ‘On the wing >> 5 dec 15:00u >>’t brandweer’

freshimpress from New Orleans >> 10×10->11 >> zeitgeist
0 Comments Published by Administrator October 14th, 2010 in travelDear Readers,
Many moments right here in NOLA, New Orleans Luisiana, are really amazing surreal. Like the moment, Simon, Michele and Klaas were picking me up from the airport. The 10×10->11 roady mobile home pulled up on the parkway and I made it into America. That was not easy after the intense border control I was obliged to.
The mobile home is a dream to have on tour. We went straight to drink something in the Bacchanal were they have all nights live music, like in many more places. Surreal due to the fact that there is “only” 350.000 inhabitants and such a lively musicians scene. In bacchanal, we met already Aurora Nealand, Simon Lot, Benjamin, Jonathan all into music and the musicians scene we’re looking for.
Our vision with 10×10->11 is, trying to use everyday another piece of waste and upcycle it into a musical instrument. Next to that we invited all musicians that would be interested to give it a try with us and our new instruments., The story of the waste is important and the fact that we take all day to have a look at it and try to convert it into something that sounds pretty. And all of this will be documented. Klaas is the soundman for the movie and he’s fully dressed for the job all the day. If you want check out
these videos, thanks to Carolyn Heneghan.

0 Comments Published by Administrator August 1st, 2009 in design, slowness, soundWhenever something moves, it’s very likely to have a sound due to the movement. Friction, resistance etc. are the power of sound. In this case I wanted to put it into a painting. Something to put on the wall and be reminded of the sincere expression of this movement. That is why i engineered the first series of sound paintings. It’s a start and as a matter of fact I would love to impose all settings and scenes of kinetic energy
on the wall.

Third Freshimpress number 1 >> 2008 Beijing
0 Comments Published by Administrator October 1st, 2008 in news, travelDear Family, Friends and Readers,
new stories from the upcoming world-power candidate or the peoples republic as you want. The story starts immediately at the airport where I found myself with 2 new experiences. First of all the Customs officer has a new machine in front of his desk. During the Passport check the machine starts to blink and asks you the question, “are you satisfied with this service?” 4 buttons I was offered to push during the check and since I hardly had to wait in front of the desk, my choice was sincere and I pressed the outer right button saying: I’m satisfied.

blackbox >> a machine that does it all :-)

When I was making the blackbox at the kombinat > automaten workshop, i started with a old bontempi keyboard. Next to that I found a great designed Uetz suitcase, a classical storage system in Switzerland. In a moment I took off basicly all the mainpart of the keyboard like the keys, but I only left the volume and beat/accomp mix where it was.
Now I got a box that really interests me, cause it sounds everytime quit different, so it suprises over and over. Great for the concerts.
bending bass >> makes a boing tone
0 Comments Published by Administrator August 25th, 2008 in design, soundDuring the 10 x10 -> 11 days in cabaret voltaire I was able to make a bass that has a flexible body and a fixed foot where it can stand on. It sounds very deep and warm through the pick-up element from a guitar. The bass is made out of a bed slat base lying around in the magnusstreet in Zürich. Have a look at the picture.
90 degrees guitar >> very handy to play

also in the 10×10-> 11 dada days in cabaret voltaire, I was able to challenge the two guitars together and now they will always stay joined together for a special cause.
the classical side of the guitar sounds like an asian lute, more east.
the rockguitar sounds more like classic rock, more west.
try it out if you have to many guitars. It is a great deal of fun.
my first painting got stolen, did you see it?

SOUNDBLOG — “Raudio Graffiti: almost live!” :: june 6th, 2008
———————————————————————————————————————
Here’s all about ookoi’s ‘doing nothing’ at the 2008 Maastricht Kunsttour … See us
sit on Pierre Paulin design furniture in a freshly re-decorated _Timmerfabriek_.
Watch us drag the Radio Raudio Mobile along the city’s cobblestones, live on the web.
Hear us hit a white Baby Grand in _Landbouwbelang_, *the* Euregional center for
autonomous and anti-commercial artistic activity. Amaze at fPcM’s cranking a street
organ in the gigantic _Eiffel building_ hall. Come along with us to check out what it
is that is going on in Kaspar Koenig’s _ArtSpace Rondeel_, Maastricht’s next b i g
art-thing … and listen to an eclectic stream of over seven and a half hours of
Kunsttour sounds: from popular dutch to Sofia Gubaidulina, from street noise to
backyard-rock, from beer to scotch, from sunshine to rain, from minutely composed
to freely improvised, from circuit bent to organ ground … This is Raudio Graffiti.
This is almost radio. This is almost live …
Thank You Harold for these great recordings!

ein Sound-Cabaret
Kaspar König (ARTSPACE RONDEEL, Maastricht) und Simon Berz (BADABUM, Zürich) geben während 10 Tagen Einblick in ihren Arbeitsprozess. Im Zentrum ihrer Forschung steht dabei die Entdeckung neuer Klänge, die aus Alltagsgegenständen und Spielzeug gewonnen werden. Die Gegenstände, welche die Künstler untersuchen, stehen immer in einem sozialen und geographischen Kontext. In diesem Sinne benutzen Kaspar König und Simon Berz diese Objekte, um eine Klangarchäologie zu betreiben.
Es entstehen Klanglandschaften, welche beim Zuschauer Assoziationen hervorrufen und eine auditive Perspektive auf die gegenständliche Welt eröffnen.
Der Arbeitsprozess, den Kaspar König und Simon Berz den BesucherInnen im Cabaret Voltaire zugänglich machen, ist sammeln, konzipieren, realisieren, Übungsphase und Konzert in einem. Im Cabaret Voltaire werden die beiden Künstler die Möglichkeit ergreifen, ihre Arbeit als Sound-CABARET zu manifestieren. Sie schaffen Konzertsituationen, in welche Gäste und Publikum miteinbezogen werden können. So wird das Sound-CABARET zu einem Ort der Begegnung und nimmt damit Bezug auf die einstigen Gründer des Cabaret Voltaires.
www.kasparkoenig.com und www.badabum.ch
Cabaret Voltaire, Spiegelgasse 1, 8001 Zürich
18. April bis 27. April 2008
Die Künstler sind jeweils ab 16 Uhr im Cabarait Voltaire anwesend und arbeiten an ihren Entdeckungen.
Konzert jeweils 22 Uhr
Eintritt: 10.- CHf.
Der Barbetrieb ist durchgehend geöffnet.

In my secondimpress 2 , the workshop sustainable design, the nightwatcher does got a friendly face, new FEbike and turtles dance!
So sometimes I think it is quite hopeless what I am doing… A sustainable / recycling workshop in the country where resources are utmost exploited. Whereas traditional chinese production has to do with sustainability in its purest form, recent wealth and economy-growth are known to be the reasons, as far as we see. I’m told that not even 20 years ago china was everywhere much much cleaner. But now even in the remote places, waste is being dumped basicly everywhere. So when I started my workshop in order to make awareness of the resources we throw away in our daily lifes, many “new” resources for our course where already available in close sight. And actually I started to make some paper to cardboard in different shapes. Also local industries are contacted to enrich our workshop. Many mis-printed KFC packaging is now being re-designed by fifteen very motivated students. I try to give you an impression of the first results. I hope the photos explain themselfs. (anyway I post a seperate article on the workshop once everything is done) Continue reading ‘secondfreshimpress 2 > beijing > workshop recycling’

“Waiting in the wings” is een poging om een onophoudende en levendige tentoonstelling
te maken die de horizon verlegt voor zowel bezoekers als ook voor de deelnemende kun-
stenaars. In de ruimte van de Artspace Rondeel zijn de juiste omstandigheden voor han-
den. Sterker nog, de hal lijkt wel gemaakt voor performative doeleinden, zoals
uiteenlopend van sing&songwriter tot Circus-sight-show.

sixth fresh impress of the peoples republic
1 Comment Published by Administrator December 18th, 2006 in travelWelcome (back) to the “fresh impress of the peoples republic”
Dear Familiy and FRIENDS,
this time:
the cabdriver who calls a friend,
the hidden three georges damm,
Shanghai’s (only?) solarpowered infopanel,
and pechakucha in beijing.
Arriving in chongqing, confusion was immediately on board of the bus. Some people exiting others stayed put..
where we at the right bus-station? 17 h o’clock.. we heard the boat was leaving at maybe 18h so we didn’t have much transfer time. Continue reading ‘sixth fresh impress of the peoples republic’

Mount emei , mushrooms
& the recycled mob

Dear Familiy and FRIENDS,
Late BRAKING news. Kaspar just won the 2 price in the slow bicycling contest. Aim is to bike as slow as posiible … as long as possible without crossing the lines of the runningcourd. The excitement was in the air as the selection of racers where moving their bicycles to the start. And within 1 minute or so the first bicyclist disturbed her balance and she had to give up her performance.
So after winning a first selection round, price one little tetrabrick full of milk from the taiwanese sponsor, I thought that was the whole contest till the moment I got a phonecall late in the night. That next day I should prepare for the final CUP ! And yes. The number 1 Yitzel the boy with the ferrari-baseballcap won the first price: 5 liters of milk.
Next day though we decided to have breakfast together, cause I won a package the nestle frosties. Chinese version. Slowly i’m really showing that I can hold up to the chinese tempo!
Though i had to bring th ebike twice to the bicycle repair shop., crank so pedal was loose, and sattle came down,
my super bicycle is still an object of adoration, as you can see when my kazachstanian coach is showing of with it!
Next time some more serious matters. I keep it short this time. also the photo’s of the disk are difficult to interpret. I’ll try to fix that for the next fresh impression. Thank you for the reactions, makes me feel making anotherone next week.

oh it took me a little longer to write the second impression on my stay in Beijing.
troubled by a computer that doesn’t understand mandarin.
It also catched a cold just like me…
The cold design of the CAFA (Central Academy of Fine Arts) building reflects itself also in the temperature. Continue reading ‘second fresh impress of the peoples republic’

OVERVIEW on the latest circuit bending workshop.
1 Comment Published by Administrator November 1st, 2006 in news, workshopsIn order to achieve new sounds out of old instruments, the circuit bending principles are very appropriate. In this 2 weeks at Datenklang.de “s workshop, we’ve been looking into amplifiers, videoplayers, guitartuners, theremins and many more circuits.
Just look at the photos. Many thanks to Simos Lomverdos Gautier, Sophia Mavragani, Roar Lindberg , Martin Rüge, and of course to Christoph Klemke.

WHAT DO THE 4 KINGS DO?
The 4 kings supply, manage and organize: infrastructure, goods and network for ARTISTS.

WHY SUPPORTING?
This organization establishes a platform for exchange of art, knowledge and social interaction by means of performances, exhibitions, symposia and workshops open to anybody and in many places of the world.

KOMBINAT 06
Das Schlag.Zeug.Atelier Berz führt im Sommer jeweils eine Kreativitätswoche mit Jugendlichen und Künstlern durch. Während einer Woche kreiert eine Künstlergruppe zusammen mit Jugendlichen eine Installation mit ausgedienten Plattenspielern. Die Jugendlichen werden von der Künstlergruppe angeleitet, jedem Plattenspieler eine Persönlichkeit zu verleihen. Es werden Szenen entwickelt, die die Geschichte einer wild gewordener Horde Plattenspieler erzählen, welche die Menschen davon überzeugen wollen, dass Welt eine Scheibe ist. Simon Berz initiiert bereits zum dritten Mal eine Kombinatswoche mit dem Ziel, Jugendlichen und Künstlern die Gelegenheit zu geben, anhand von einem Projekt alters-, geschlechts- und kunstübergreifende Begegnungen zu schaffen. Alle Beteiligten sollen dabei die Möglichkeit haben, durch gegenseitige Beeinflussung und Inspiration künstlerische, soziale, phänomenologische und pädagogische Erfahrungen zu sammeln. Durch das Zusammentreffen von Künstlern und Jugendlichen will Berz Synergien schaffen und diese künstlerisch nutzen. Dabei sollen alle, Erfahrene und Unerfahrene, auf ihre Weise profitieren können. „Der gemeinsame Prozess“ soll allen Beteiligten die Möglichkeit geben, neue Erfahrungen und Inspirationen zu sammeln. Die Performance dient am Ende der Woche zur Reflexion des Erarbeiteten und ermöglicht der Öffentlichkeit einen Einblick in den Schaffensprozess. Leitung |

XiLoSeuM – aN uRBaN SouNDSToRy -
1 Comment Published by Administrator April 13th, 2006 in news, soundop 11-2-2006 tijdens de M2LIVE Museum Marathon om 17.ooh en 20.ooh verandert het bonnefanten museum in een reusachtige xilofon. Kaspar König, Simon Berz en Thomas van Nieuwenhoven nodigen U uit dit te aanschouwen en te beluisteren. Luister naar de opgenomen
muziek in de audioplayer nr.5 of bekijk de video XiLoSeuM – the movie –
uRBaN SouNDSToRy XiLoSeuM (a.a.r.t. )
een akoestisch onderzoek op de huid van de bonnefant.
http://www.bonnefanten.nl/m2live/
opzet en instrumentarium
het museum klingt van buiten bijzonder! door het bespelen van de tegels aan de gevel van het gebouw onstaat een urban-instrument om een verhaal te vertellen. een verhaal dat bestaat uit de klanken van de tegels en de andere klanken die door een gebouw gemaakt worden zonder dat men zich daarvan zo bewust is. een doel van dit projekt is het om akoestische funktie van gebouwen te erkennen, te analyseren en te presenteren op een manier die goed in de “urban context” past zodat elk gebouw de instrumentaliteit als stadsinstrument (her)ondekt.
met behulp van diverse trommelmaterialen en piezo-versterking onstaat een unieke soundscape die de stad in een sprookje verandert.
deze gelegenheid nemen om eens mee te doen, want het aanraken van de tegels werkt uitnodigend op de omgeving en de voorbijganger wordt onherroepelijk aangetrokken door de warme uitstraling (=klanken) van het XiLoSeuM. en zeg eens eerlijk, hoe vaak speel jij op een museum?

tune your bike for the ride. Listen to the tension of the spokes.
a bicycle capable to transform speed,
frame torsion and spoke tensity in splendid soundscapes.
The riding itself creates a pressure in the sattle that can power the harmonica at the steering wheel. Biking and practicing your daily riff.
the spacesound of the bicycle is made by a spring connected to a can.
the tiny little friction on the backwheel produces space literally and figurally.
audiotraining with the steples drum sequencer triggered by some little magnets on the iron wheel.

0 Comments Published by Administrator January 18th, 2006 in audiotrainer, sound, workshopsIn this experimental project, our aim is to
practically experience the relation between indoorfitness-
utilities and music.The human body uses a rhythm to
maintain a endurance during a training. Is
this the same endurance we use in a dance club?
Could we do more training when we produce music
meanwhile? Would we dance more if we’re sure how
our body moves on music? In this innovative project
we’re keen to find amazing sounds produced by friction
and traction from the body on (and as) a
machine.
Experiment:
In order to find this relation, we want to
make a training utility based on an existing sportdevice
like a home-trainer.This machine will be prepared
with (midi-)sensors and microphones. By connecting
a computer with the appropriate software
the training machine will trigger samples and beats.
The user of the device will start to train with and
without a beat.The natural build up of a training program
will be maintained.The behavior of the user will
be measured in endurance and in joy of the training
program.
Context:
The fitnesscenters are full of training devices
and people who are training on these machines often
use a personal musicplayer to accompany the training.
The idea to combine machine and musicplayer
could open a new field of soundscapes and training
programs that give music a new meaning as well as
training a new audio context:“The art of training or
the training of audio” If endurance on a fitnessdevice
can be connected to the joy of creating music, a relation
in movement and synchronized sound can connect
a lot of senses The user get stimulated and for
people listening and looking to the user become a
feeling to movement and sound.
Outcome:
when the Artwork is tested and supplied with
samples seducing the user to continue the
rhythm,the training can center a new level of interaction
and communication between body and mind.
basically anybody (musical or not, sportive or not) is
invited to become a new perception of sensibility
towards the body, endurance and listening pleasure.
audiotraining _ a program to bike the beat_
…connecting sounds and sports in one performance…
