in the Noise-festival from NoD in Prag Maja and me made some crazy instant instruments!

Zimmerstreich (I) mit Schlagsahne

Idea:
Suppose the inside of a room is the resonance body of
an instrument…. How would the instrument have to look like to sound good?
An installation to interactively search the sound of the room.

Dear 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.

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.

this frame looks sad but it is happy, it didn’t want to be a painting.

it just wanted to be a thing for on the wall.

Graag zou ik U willen uitnodigen voor een speciale vriendendag van de stichting.

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!
