Curator Statement
On Sun 22 August 2010 the ICEM (Institute for Computer Music and Electronic Media) at the Folkwang University, Essen, DE, presented the Day of Sound with concerts, performances and sound art installations. Selected project submissions from the ISEA2010 RUHR Call for Proposals was presented alongside works produced in the ICEM studios.
A full day totally dedicated to electronic music during which the roots of instruments, compositional principles and sound structures of the electronic sound world will be presented. Live electronics are being generated and combined in an interplay with direct, well-rehearsed sound worlds. Barely perceptible auditory and visual microcosms flow through each other and sound resonances become symbolic. It will be collaged and looped, dismembered, reassembled, distorted and abstracted with text, sound and image. Modularised technical equipment and classical instruments in electronic garb are used. And, lastly, a one of a kind sound machine triumphs with enormous stertorous and subharmonic frequencies.
