FENSTERSTURZ Sound Objects and Spatial Gestures

The exhibition FENSTERSTURZ presents works by students which were developed in seminars by Klaus Filip and Nicolaj Kirisits at the Department of Digital Art in WS 16/17 and SS 17. The content of these sessions investigated the production of sound objects with a special focus on different temporal scales and, in a subsequent phase, linking these objects with gestural acts in space.

Unlike when sound is generated by a movement in space on acoustic instruments, the original relationship between the timbre, texture, and the spatial gesture that results from this movement is not present in computer music a priori.

This led to an exploration of issues relating to the design of the spectromorphological body and changes in the role of the form-giving spatial gesture in computer-generated music. It is no longer necessarily situated at the beginning of sound production, rather it can—as illustrated exemplarily in this exhibition—have a connection with a previously produced sound object, thereby again manifesting as a generative element but not as an essential formative parameter of the sound, rather as an independent, pure movement in space.
