Relaunch Hörzelle- Midissage Cubo

The time has come; the “Hörzelle” is being refilled!
And the exhibition in the Cubo by Camille Dedenise can still be seen for 2 weeks!

New at Hörzelle:

blablabor (annette schmucki and reto friedmann)
fm-alarm-clock-radio-g641-t302-j

Every radio sounds different: The Grundig Concert Boy 240 impresses with its clear sound, while the reception of the Stern Dynamic 2030 is harsh and susceptible to interference. Blablabor has built up its own relationship with each of the more than one hundred portable radios it has collected. Like us, the devices are getting older and frailer – the Philips Limbo DeLuxe 90R1412 is missing the antenna tip and the battery compartment cover. For “FM Alarm Clock Radio G641 T302 J”, Blablabor used the sounds and characteristics of their radio collection. The play was nominated for the Berlin Radio Play Festival 2025.

Sashe Urdovski: Singing wire
Early on, historical users of the electric telegraph described its lines as “singing wires”: wind, electrical impulses or resonances created audible tones and rhythms with a musical quality. The telephone booth becomes a listening room for a material, independently vibrating form of communication. The piece is inspired by Alvin Lucier’s work “Music on a Long Thin Wire”, in which a signal generates vibrations in a taut wire. The composition was created in the Experimental Soundlab at the University of Art and Design.

Christina Gruber: Thirsty Datacenter (Lindabrunn Edit)
Our daily lives are based on interactions. And increasingly online. “Thirsty Datacenter” leads to different production sites and landing points of the cloud. Water is essential in the development process of these global server networks. On the one hand, water is used to cool the data centers, but also to transmit our data. What happens when digital water re-enters the water cycle? Are endless streaming evenings also causing real changes to our atmosphere? This audio piece goes in search of the infrastructures of the cloud.

Hollis Taylor, Claire Edwards: Owen Springs Reserve
This piece is based on a nocturnal song recording of the Australian Black-throated Slaughterbird, recorded in 2014 near Alice Springs. In her work, composer, violinist and ornithologist Hollis Taylor explores the musical qualities of birdsongs and their translation into human music. It is played and interpreted here by the well-known Australian percussionist Claire Edwards on the vibraphone.

Marie Lampropoulus: Zwischen den Gräsern
Marie Lampropoulus studied Biology on the University Vienna, Ecology, with focus on Vegetationecology, Naturer- and Landscapeprotection She wrote her diploma thesis on the grasshopper population at the Lindabrunn Symposium site and is an excellent expert on this habitat. In this audio piece, she provides insights into the fascinating world of the polyphonic orchestra of these creatures that can be heard here every day.
