Fabricmachine is a sound installation by Kathrin Stumreich.
Two fabric loops, driven by a motor, create a division in space. Light sensors measure the opacity of the textile. The way all pieces are sewed together for a fabric sound track is responsible for beats, breaks and rhythms.
A short demonstration of some very unique sound generators and processors by Georg Reil:
The arrangement includes six exceptional exhibits from the world of sounds and acoustics. At first sight looking trivial, each object incorporates a very unique ability.
The magical character of each object is accompanied with a little story, almost completely concealing the existence of technical components such as speakers or sensors. Only small connection ports as well as the uniform black finishing point to thier unusual abilities.
Sound in Context is an interesting short documentary about the challenges involved in exhibiting and promoting sound art installations. Produced by the Sound and Music organization.
Brian Eno discusses music, art and technology in this wide-ranging interview.
