Nervous Field

As a mean of measure, electric field sensing tells us about a strange and invisible physical world. Nervous Field introduces electric field sonification, as a physical channel and inference framework. According to the measured field strength, the sound, the colour of the sound, and the volume of the sound are varied. Thus, an improvised piece of music is created from the most simple parts. The sound installation refers to the concept of aleatory music, based on aspects of chance and improvisation, as used by John Cage, Pierre Boulez, and Iannis Xenakis.

Als Mittel zur Messwerterfassung erzählt uns der elektrische Feld-Sensor etwas über eine seltsame und unsichtbare physische Welt. Nervöses Feld verwendet elektrische Feld Sonifikation als physikalischen Kanal und Inferenz-Framework.

Die gemessenen Feldstärken wirken sich direkt auf den Ton, die Klangfarbe und die Lautstärke aus. So entsteht mit einfachen Mitteln ein improvisiertes Musikstück. Die Klanginstallation bezieht sich auf das Konzept der Aleatorik, basierend auf Zufall und Improvisation, wie sie auch von John Cage, Pierre Boulez und Iannis Xenakis verwendet werden.
