The TopoSonic Art Project
TopoSonic Spheres
TopoSonic Spheres is a comprehensive space-sound art project. In its context, the artists' couple has created and produced varied space-sound installations as well as versions conceived for performances, broadcasting and exhibitions. Below, you will find the most prominent recent TopoSonic Spheres project data.
„TopoSonic Spheres – A Space-soundComposition“
The text on the Space-soundComposition:
I. The Space-soundMaterial
II. The Space-soundMicroscopy
III. The Space-soundComposition
As in all space-sound compositions and installations produced since 1998 by the couple of artists <sabine schäfer // joachim krebs> it is especially the 'audio microscopied' animal voices and sounds of nature that constitute the basic and source material of their latest Space-soundComposition 'TopoSonic Spheres' commissioned by the SWR (German South West Radio) in 2004.
By using computer-assisted digital sound processors (samplers) and a special analysis and production procedure of sound and acoustic space microscopy ('EndoSonoScopy') developed by Joachim Krebs (in 1996 in relation to his project “Artificial Soundscapes”), the inner richness and lively variety of previously inaudible acoustic-molecular internal structures of the noises and sounds of natural origin are made audible.
