The development of systems which can recognize, interpret, process and simulate human emotions goes ahead. This provokes questions: Where is the difference between artificial and real? What happens to indefinable moods?

In „Test Tube“ the measurement of human emotions is the topic.

Sounds and noises from our everyday life, which draw, reform and manipulate subconces emotions, are collected. This audio material is nested, taken apart or condensed in sound balls. Spoken words describe a possible meaning.

Fictive scenarios and undefinable ambiances arise and disappear again. It grumbles, jerks and yearns…

In this interplay/counterplay of fragmented ambiaces, the borders between artificial and real are demanded and varied.

To be…in the kitchen

Oil, water sugar and Mariechen..the longing is immense.
From the center of the kitchen, from the stove, a sort of kitchen-scape is drawn, where pans clatter and soup simmers.
„Je suis in the kitchen“ is derived from fragments of kitchen songs, which used to be sung by servants in bourgeois homes while doing their work.
In the composition, I have taken this historical category of fok poems, and spiced it with irritating moments and associative ideas in order to break the sentimental tonal basis.
I found the juxtaposition of harmony and disturbing elements to be most interesting. Acoustical and visual materials gets worked over, ordered and concentrated.
„Je suis in the kitchen“ rediscovers the ambivalence between fear and longing, between opinion and feelings.
It is stirred in the soup. An intact world is summoned, which is repeatedly disturbed.

1800 meters above sea level (extract)

12-channel installation for the Project USAP (Urban Solar Audio Plant) from Peter Eisold and Micha Dawid.
The acoustic material of this sound, which originates from the foothills of the alps, is of a narrative sort, telling of nature, of myths and spirits. In a 12-channel installation, the acoustic tracks of the experiential world „foothills region“ are staged in variously dense, sometimes static, sometimes in more dynamic acoustic images.
