- Start time: 20:00
- Entrance: 7-12 € (up to your offer)
Maier and May will perform a composition for self-made microtonal organs, modular synthesizer and spatialized loudspeakers. Drawing on the lineage of Maryanne Amacher’s Sound Joined Rooms and Iannis Xenakis’ Polytopes — that of architectural composition — Maier and May prioritize space as the primary parameter of their collaborative compositional work. This spatial interplay is paralleled by an investigation of various psychoacoustic phenomena, which evoke various perceptual spaces both in the ear (as in Otoacoustic emission) and the brain (binaural beating). Maier will also perform a solo improv set on modular synthesizer.
