Audio:Elf

Audio plays revolving around the subject of balls
Presented at the Museum für Angewandte Kunst on June 2006

Sport and music – in the past, this has meant raucous fan chanting and national players' attempts to sing. As of now, New Music will also play an important role.
Mexican sound artist Manuel Rocha-Iturbide has invited eleven composers from ten non-European countries to translate their thoughts on sport and space into sounds.
Javier Alvarez (Mexico), Rajivan Ayyappan (India), Dickson Dee (China), Christian Galarreta (Peru), Erdem Helvacioglu (Turkey), Suk-Jun Kim (Korea), Mario Marcelo Mary (Argentina), Manuel Rocha Iturbide (Mexico), Atau Tanaka (Japan), Nicolas Vaurchavsky (Argentina) and Edson Zampronha (Brazil).
The result is "Audio:Elf". Eleven audio plays in 5.1 Surround format, a technology that is currently taking living rooms by storm, put listeners in the very midst of things.
All pieces are commissioned works. After their world debut at the opening event, they can be listened to in the specially equipped Surround room at the Museum für Angewandte Kunst. Via a control panel, the compositions can be selected and information retrieved about the composers and their music.

We present here some of the pieces that have a stereo version. If some one is interested in this projet, a concert could be done with the 5.1 system, either in a hall or in a soccer stadium. Please contact the owner of this page for concert bookings.
