Performance-lecture by Chris Salter with tamtam (Sam Auinger / Hannes Strobl)

 


An acoustic performative conversation between Chris Salter and tamtam (Sam Auinger + Hannes Strobl) using ethnographic field recordings and urban sounds gathered from three years of work listening to the urban instrumentarium with O+A (Bruce Odland and Sam Auinger).

ARTISTS

tamtam (Sam Auinger / Hannes Strobl)[AT]

tamtam encapsulate their work with the sentence: "the sound environment is becoming the instrument, the instrument is becoming the sound environment." Their instrument is, for all intensive purposes, not only a sounding object that we are well familiar with, but also the space itself where sound lives – the acoustic and psychoacoustic fields that enable us to extend our accepted senses to hear the habitual and the everyday as something extraordinary.
