Evamaria Müller creates fragile, repetitive and constantly changing structures in her sound installations. The focus is on the formation of organic materials in interaction with media and mechanical instruments. Levels of sound that are layered into each other, nestled against each other, directed against each other or built on top of each other. One layer is humus for another. Through meticulous listening, we can uncover layers that seem to fit seamlessly into the granulate of this soil of sound.
With BYDIVIDINGSOUNDSINTOGROUPSIUNDERSTANDTHEMBETTER, the artist creates a walk-in soundscape that translates hidden voices into tangible layers of sound through narrative fragmentation and activates it in a loop of decomposition and recomposition. The tactile quality of the sounds is generated by the movement and vibration of the sound sources. The situational composition is preceded by attentive listening to our environment and the ‘chunking’ of this listening experience. These ‘chunks’ of structures of the complex activities of biological, anthropogenic and geophysical processes meet in their translation in space in order to expand the boundaries of one’s own body by adopting different auditory perspectives.
WORKSHOP
Tape Loop Lab
In this hands-on sound workshop, we’ll dive into the world of tape loops by exploring old and new sonic textures using analog tools like cassette tapes and Walkmans (you are welcome to bring yours if you have one with a record function or old tapes you don’t mind cutting). We’ll collect sounds from Mz*Baltazar’s Lab and its surroundings, creating together layered audio compositions where each track becomes fertile ground for the next. No prior experience needed—just curiosity and open ears.
