Overview

Hanz ■ Memorial --- 2015

limited 3x30 manufactured by KIX Berlin from Niko LFO website: Hanz ■ Memorial is a generative music composition available as an app on concrete USB drive and an immersive quadraphonic live performance. The live performance explores how sound waves move and transform physical bodies. The piece is compositionally modular, using blocks of sonic matter with different weights, dimensions, energy and momentum that can be rearrange each time, also during the performance. Its processual function aims to reaffirm the mutual influences of all elements at stake during the performance: people, space, sound etc. Live snippets here. The musique concrete, electroacoustic composition Hanz ■ Memorial brings the listener down a maze of mutating noises, odd to the imaginary avant-garde composer Hans Nibler and his research on circular causality, self regulative systems applied to sound objects. The piece is a commission of Emitter Micro and benefited from a residency at Emitter Micro's studio. It has been released on Emitter Micro (EM006) as an executable app together with a selection of short pieces by Hans Nibler on a concrete made USB drive. Technical supports along the process of composition were provided by Pierce Warnecke and Baptiste Caramiaux. The concrete USB drives were manufactured at KIXBERLIN.
