HONORARY MENTION
Samplingplong
Jörg Niehage
Randomly selected, acoustically usable finds (electronic junk, relays, plastic toys, compressed air valves, pneumatically operated components, etc.) are combined with cables and tubes. Via an interface controlled by computer, they are turned into interactive instruments. A macroscopic ensemble evolves from which - per mouse over and mouse click - short miniature compositions of dense rhythmic clicks, hisses, whirs, hums and crackles can be elicited. A tapestry of sound bursts forth from the floral-like web of cables and tubes. (Künstlerhaus Mousonturm, December 2006, Frankfurt on the Main)
