The exhibition Fenstersturz presents works by students created in the seminars of Klaus Filip and Nicolaj Kirisits in the winter semester 16/17 and summer semester 17. The focus of these courses was on the production of sound objects, with a special emphasis on different time scales and, in a further step, the linking of these objects with spatially gestural figures.
The original connection between timbre, sound progression and the spatial gestures created by the movement that produces the sound in acoustic instruments is not a priori present in computer music. The significance of form-building spatial gestures in computer-generated music has changed.
It is no longer necessarily at the beginning of sound production, but can, as exemplified in this exhibition, be connected to a previously produced sound object, thus manifesting itself once again as a creative element, but not necessarily as a parameter that shapes the sound, but rather independently, as pure movement in space.
Sixteen window panes equipped with sound transducers were placed freely in space in Atrium A of the University of Applied Arts. Each window pane could be played individually. The window panes thus became sound sources distributed throughout the space. This collectively developed spatial configuration was played with sounds and sound movements during the exhibition.
