Proposal for Historisches Museum Baden (Switzerland) within DAS OHR DER ZEIT- Projektwettbewerb- Klangintervention im Historisches Museum Baden.
Specifically designed for the spaces of Landvogteischloss, 'Music for Distances' is a particular chordal environment, based on a different notion of borders.
Entirely made with pre-recorded sounds, rich in locational specificity, from the metallic stairway in the Erweiterungsbau’s main entrance, the environment starts with the resonance of the spiral staircase, obtained through low frequencies (volumetric and omni-directional) emitted by two Subwoofers, to continue on the four floors of the castle, situating rays of medium-high, linear frequencies using prepared hyper-directional loudspeakers (a few of them provided with lenses) in order to create unique spaces of listening defined by dynamic, flexible boundaries.
In a quasi-improvisation with space –which becomes an extended, ramified instrument–, visitors will move in and out of varied zones of dynamics and harmonic timbres, in a continuous shift in volume and sound according to their pace and orientation.
An architectural performance through a nomadic listening experience.
