Bischofshof
The second auditory stroll with Peter Androsch in conjunction with the “Sonotopia” event resembles a walk in the clouds—after all, substantively as well as spatially, this is a matter of air. To be precise: air as a sea of sound waves ricocheting among and through the cityscape’s structures. Seen from this perspective, architects and city planners are the true sound designers. Androsch imparts this impressively.
Sound Design via Architecture
Structures configure the cityscape’s sound instrument. And quite extraordinary architects have left their marks on the neighborhood surrounding the Bischofshof, especially in the 18th century when Jakob Prandtauer, Johann Michael Prunner and Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt shaped the sound of the city. In the 19th century, amidst what they erected, Vincenz Statz inserted St. Mary’s Cathedral, a consummate space for reverberation.
