GLASCELLO

foto by beatrice puijk

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.
Raum : D (=101)
Zeit : 20.15

Come and see a total new Project here @ PROGR in Bern. We are having a 169 hours continuous action to find the infinite sound along the Theory of “sonido 13″ invented by Julian Carrillo. We, Samuell Stoll, Benedict Bindewald, Aleks Gabrys and the amazing Till Wyler von Ballmoos and me, are exaggerating together to a certain extend. We are welcoming visitors 24 hours a day. So with our “dafürsprechanlage” you can come in:

Bern Bienale, kaspar König

Thanks to Prof Peter Kiefer and the whole FH Team, we were able to setup the Resonate exhibition one more time at the ZKM in Karlsruhe, the biggest (?) pallace for Soundart. It`s open till end of the year and belongs now to the SoundArt Exhibition. read all about it on www.zkm.de

One more time the Resonate boat is open to visitors who will find the boat at the Fort-Malakoff-Park in Mainz. There will be some speeches and the Mayor himself will open the installation at 13:30h. Open till late and sunday the boat will be open from 14:00h till 22:00h. If you didn’t see it in Frankfurt, its worth it seeing it in Mainz if you are around!

Dear Readers, it’s another honour to invite you to this acoustic festival in Amsterdam. Bajesdorp an enormous free autonomous zone directly next to the biggest Jail of the Netherlands. The acoustic festival is something not to miss. Read everything about independency on www.bajesdorp.nl

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.
Sehe dafür die zusammengestellte liste hier/here

>> the sound Xiloseum, originated from the facade from the bonnefantenmuseum and was Performed by Simon Berz and Thomas Van Nieuwenhoven and Me.

op het nieuwe theaterschip op de Main in Frankfurt am Main zal een klinkende licht installatie of is het een geilumineerde klankinstallatie een performance night georganiseerd worden.
Een aanrader om nu alvast in de Calendar op te schrijven.

NANOPHONY
Jazz Masters 2012
Theater aan het Vrijthof

Ab König

Nanophony is een interdisciplinair project van beeldend kunstenaar Marie van Vollenhoven voor Jazz Maastricht en Intro in Situ. In de  naam Nanophony klinkt fascinatie door voor de wetenschap van de nanotechnologie, die met microscopisch kleine deeltjes bezig is volkomen nieuwe stoffen te componeren , die de natuur nooit verzonnen heeft.
‘We hebben ook een kunstzinnig laboratorium nodig. We willen uitdrukking geven aan de nieuwste maatschappelijke en wetenschappelijke ontwikkelingen waar we deel van uitmaken en Continue reading ‘Nanophony @ Jazzmasters Maastricht >> 23.3.12 >> Theater a/h Vrijthof’

This is some footage for the first workshop for the understanding of the soundspace of the ship that will be used for the luminale 2012 Frankfurt. Check the site for the e tire project Thanks to Beatrice Puijck for the images.

xAnother dazzling concert, this friday. allthough semi-privat, it might be visible/audible through the glass facade. I will play it from the inside with my glascello but i’m sure it’s gonna be audible at the outside too ;-)
look at the beautiful handmade invitation. I’m looking forward to this concert. (3 parts)

Paradiso invited Quartier Mustache for this fantastic night in the Artis Aquarium, in between the fishes we will give the movie a whole new sound. Not only are the DJ’s from Quartier Mustache on the spot, also alessandro mezzogori and me are going to let the movie live in another era! If you find time to see this, i’m sure you will have a night full of fantasy and maybe you become a little baron afterwards.

Fully full. The Aquarium was sold out and we were very happy to show this movie with our new soundtrack.

This is the first ARM concert as in Art Research Music. The concert/composition was based on the influence of noise and its singularity in form of a drop. Colours became sound in the openingsconcert of the SPEKTRALE. Have a look/listen at the Rheingoldhalle Mainz. A very special exhibition full of scientific experiments and ART on the edge of science. Have a look if you find the chance open till 14th august.www.spektrale2011.de

I’m very proud to be able to be part of this concert. Not only is Alvin Curran a star that i’ve been luckily enough to get to know a little better, also Christina Kubisch is playing in this concert!

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. My work consists a kite that is hanging in the Tree like if it is left behind by a child that was playing. Now it hangs there waiting for the winds to play the strings. See more info here:

Whenever 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.

we’ve been working on great projects within the timelab in Gent. This video shows how I finished lasercutting my add-ons for traffic signs or other public design. I made two hooks with a precise fit for hooking up a string, which I can tension whenever I want. There is a bridge in the middle of the string, so the whole urinoir starts to become sound!

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.

During 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.

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.

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 Workshop «Animation – Circuitbend – Interaction – Laboratory» besteht aus zwei Teilen einem Animations und einem Circuitbending Teil.
Am Ende des Workshops steht eine Installation in der die entstandenen Animationssequenzen auf die gebauten Soundgeräte, die mit Lichtsensoren ausgestattet projiziert wird. Das Lichtsensor Orchester wird ab gemischt. Die Animationen allenfalls mit Live Schattenspiel verändert. Es entsteht eine Klangkulisse für die Animationen.

Im Soundteil von diesem Workshop werden wir Mikrochips
mittels des Circuitbend Prinzip verwerten. Wir bauen mit LDR’s die Chips in ihre Funktion um, damit sie auf licht reagieren. Somit reagieren sie auch auf Animationen….

Kaspar König (RONDEEL, Maastricht) und Simon Berz (BADABUM, Zürich) zeigen vom 16. November bis zum 25. November 2007 ihr gemeinsames Schaffen. Sie nutzen die Tage, neue und bestehende Instrumente zu bauen. Die Arbeit ist Konzeption, Bauprozess, Übungsphase und Konzert in einem.

Die Künstler versuchen damit, gängige Kunstparadigmen in Frage zu stellen und neue zu schaffen und zu diskutieren.

XiLoSeuM – aN uRBaN SouNDSToRy -

Many many thanks to David de Gijsel!!!

XiLoSeuM – the movie –

op 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?

guitarbike in action in weimar (d)

1 Comment Published by Administrator January 18th, 2006 in klangrad / sonicbikes, performances, sound

the utopiebaustelle in weimar during the schillerfestival was a great occasion to introduce the sonic features of the guitarbike. listen to it online under the sound-tab.

Soundbikes – when the street becomes the biggest score of the world

1 Comment Published by Administrator January 18th, 2006 in design, klangrad / sonicbikes, sound

Look at this guitarbike with strings and soundshift.
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.

get in contact and hear it yourself during a testride.
Participate in a workshop or build it yourself anyway.
let the citysound out and compose your own urban soundstory. completely new!

turning things and round things have a tendency to become beats! just like in supermiky where a Laundry machine meets a record player

In 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…
