Soundscape:
Noises transcend the boundaries between the airport, service and office locations, motorway and railway line. Jet engines – sounds of planes, multi-cylinders – sounds of cars, fans – sounds of computers, steel on steel – sounds of railways. An infinite number of superimpositions from machinery, inherently rhythmic noises to indifferent noise situations are constantly heard. Audio deserts, audio spheres.
Synchromatic:
The disturbing soundscape is detached and framed through the skeletal mapping of tonal structures. Movement and optical rhythm transform the sound, which appears endlessly rustling and monotonous, into a scene with lively music. Buildings are made of construction material, landscaping of traffic areas transform into gardens.
