space, environment and context: gestures and scores is the name of a course taught by Anne Wellmer at Universität der Künste within the branch of Art and Media in the spring of 2017.
Subject of the course are methods and works by composers and sound artists that reinvent notation to serve their ideas of what music and listening are. The pieces below are original works and sketches by the students that can be freely mixed – or listened to individually. They are partly inspired by John Cage (Fontana Mix, 1958), Max Neuhaus (Listen, 1966) and Alvin Lucier (...Memory Space, 1970).
Multiverse Crosstalk Radio was a radio format by Alberto de Campo, Hannes Hoelzl and Magdalena Kobzova for documenta14's Savvy Funk, which was broadcasting daily from June 17th until July 7th, 2017.

One Recording of the performance "Vibes". A performance with two performers in different locations over the ether. The Word "Talk" in morse code ("- .- .-.. -.-") as vibration pattern for 2 devices gives the rythm. One performer controlls the time, the other the modification of the sound.

Understanding of the unconscious turn of random events and accidents. queue of events is subordinated to their own rhythm, both inner and shared. awareness of this rhythm objectifies unique and organic reality: as a rhythmic organism.

The LAAC project deals with genetic data and synthetic life in virtual space. The sound is a first attempt at capturing how emerging synthetic life sounds. The sound was generated with SuperCollider and based on a class from Julian Rohrhuber. (https://github.com/supercollider

It is a motion based sound design piece generated by Isadora. It’s basically designed transferring data of gesture to motion, motion to sound. A short sound patch added on generator, connected with a cam sensor, with the light contrast in the space, any gesture tracked by sensor triggered sound to play. So the whole structure is to make a performer play percussion-like instruments with the same gesture without an actual instrument.

It’s a journey starting from Kottbuser Tor ends at Hermanplatz Ubahn station. Time was 23:32 when I started. Rather taking a main street to reach the target directly, the route took place side streets doing zig-zags through. On the journey there was a sound never changed while walking that was my key chain hanging on my bag sounds like bell rings. So it reminds me how long I am walking as a time lapser. During the journey, I perceive the sound mainly as a cloud sometimes walking towards myself, sometimes me diving into a huge cloud surrounding me that made me feel I’m in the center. The journey ended with running into an urban musician playing his transverse flute, kept as a ‘ohrwurm’ in my memory.
