An aerial view looking down into a small, circular room with a black floor and gray walls. Gray and white round stools are set up though out the space along with two cluttered desks as folks mill about.

Daniel Teige & Volkmar Klien

October 16–17, 2009

Studio 1—Goodman

Dates + Tickets

Taking advantage of the cycloramic potential of EMPAC’s Studio 1, German composers and sound artists Daniel Teige and Volkmar Klien present works created or adapted for a 360° aural environment. Daniel Teige’s quirky sound collages combine ambient sound with spare, elegant musical progressions, for an effect that is at once classically restrained and whimsical. Volkmar Klien will be remixing his recent composition Start-Ziel-Siege, in which washes of feedback float over computer-generated percussion, for the dozens of speakers in Studio 1. The result of their Multichannel Residencies is music of absorbing—even entrancing—complexity that surrounds and immerses the listener.
