Szene mit Badewanne, Raumtrenner, Tauchsieder, Wasser, Schaum,
Protagonist:innen & Mehrkanal-Tonsystem

Ingrid Kaufman ist die Hauptfigur einer Kurzgeschichte von Maria Wildeis, die 2021 im Rahmen der Publikation „anwesend“ von On Cologne e.V. entstanden ist. Zwischen Kunstdiskursen und Selbstzweifel bereitet sich Ingrid Kaufman auf die Aufführung eines neuen Stückes vor, in dessen Zentrum Badewannen stehen. Maria Wildeis interpretiert die Erzählung innerhalb ‚Ingrid Kaufman, op. 1 – Priamel: Allegorie der Träumenden‘ und verbindet den Klang einer Badewanne (Interpretiert von Fabian Jung) mit dem Kirchenraum und der dort installierten Orgel mit Elektronik und einem Mehrkanal-Tonsystem (8-Kanal Lautsprecherkonfiguration und Körperschallwandler). Die Aufführung ist als Szene konzipiert, deren visuelle Eingriffe von der Bildhauerin Katharina Maderthaner bestimmt wurden.

„Oneiroi“ | Maria Wildeis

Wann 21.15 Uhr

Die Oneiroi dominieren die Träume in der griechischen Mythologie. Sie treten auf als Kinder des Schlafgottes Hypnos und der Nyx oder auch als Fledermausartige Wesen, die nachts ihre Höhlen verlassen, um ihre Geschichten an die Träumenden zu senden. Die Komposition begreift sich als Simulakrum eines Soundscapes und behandelt die Idee unterschiedlicher Zeitstrukturen im Raum, wo heterogene Lebensformen jeweils unterschiedliche sinnliche Erfahrungen hervorbringen.

Oneiroi: Concepts of Non-Linearity in Time

Multichannel Sound Performance and Research on Spacial Sound and Time Concepts in Music and Nature.

Oneiroi is an ongoing series of electronic music compositions and live performances. Throughout the medium of soundscape, I am questioning the linearity of time perception in humans and non-humans. Since many birds and bats can strech the perception of time for certain moments, to amplify vocal bird songs or other acoustic aspects, I am experimenting on time concepts and time perception through multichannel performances and installations.

Performances:

26. June 2021 – Simultanhalle Köln
Upcoming: 04. February 2022 – Robert Schumann Saal, Museum Kunstpalast

The Oneiroi dominate the dreams within Greek mythology. More often, the Oneiroi are mentioned as an unspecified group being the personification of dreams. They are described as the children of the sleep god Hypnos and Nyx. Like bats, with black wings, they leave their caves at night and send their stories to the dreamers.

The project Oneiroi refers to a simulacrum of synthetic sounds which deal with differnt time concepts and different approaches to sound, like how heterogenous species are sharing one sound scape, although processing different sensual experiences.

In my master thesis I study methods of spatial sound structuring and media compositional approaches in the field of electronic music, acousmatics, field recording and additive synthesis. In the context of my main course, I am also concerned about the visual aspect of music, its visual associations.

I use sounds and noises for installations and spatial works. I work with computer programs, object-based languages, spatialization software, DAWs, but also game engines, VR programs and 3D graphic simulations.

At Simultanhalle Köln in summer 2021 I first time realized a two channel sound piece under the name of Oneiroi, which was installed in a garden and played a loop of 60 mins. The sound was generated by additive synthesis and was composed of different sound groups that simulated a natural situation with different sound events, like humming insects crossing on different levels and speeds a listener’s ear, the rusle of grass, the sound of wind going through twigs. A link to an excerpt of the piece follows in the description.

The project will also be outlined also as a 4-channel sound concert at Museum Kunstpalast during Sparda’s Palastrauschen, a one-day event at the Schumann concert hall in Düsseldorf.

At February 2021 I was invited at Fotoraum Köln for a site-specific live performance, which demonstrates my interest in soundscapes, field recordings and on-site sounds of the performance venue.
stereo, live modulation and field recordings

My work at Fotoraum Köln is combining field recordings from the immediate vicinity of the Fotoraum in Cologne – Lindenthal as well as sounds from the interior and exterior of the art space during the performance. These sounds became part of the performance and got distorted with effects and modulations. In her multimedia work „Lotus Power II“, Anna Siggelkow examines the relationship between humans and nature. She directs her gaze to the things that have been created, changed or influenced by man against nature. Her video formed an element in the video composition. The exhibition and the sound collage were shown by Fotoraum Köln as part of the interdisciplinary and intercultural series „Wir haben Gäste“ (We have guests) and sponsored by the Cultural Office of the City of Cologne and the City Centre District Council.

Interactive Sound Walk,
with Joseph Baader and Vincent Stange

2. Dezember 2021 | 19 – 21Uhr [Vernissage] 
3. – 5. Dezember 2021 

Zu Gast im NKR – Neuer Kunstraum 
Himmelgeister Straße 107, Düsseldorf

Funded by Kunststiftung NRW and Kulturamt Düsseldorf.

“Andere Teilchen oder äußere Einflüsse” turns the exhibition hall of NKR into an active resonating body. The sound installation consists of two different systems, each playing different frequency bands (31-125 hz and 300-20,000 hz).

This creates a common sound space in which the sound spreads out and where the existing particles influence each other: The audience moves the sound and the sound moves the audience. The question of influence is negotiated in various ways. The physical phenomenon of the standing wave creates an acoustic walk-in sculpture in the work by Vincent Stange and Joseph Baader. Depending on the position in the room, different vibrations and chords can be heard. At the same time, these movement patterns are recorded by ultrasound sensors in the Max MSP-based installation by Maria Wildeis. The paths of the visitors affect the sounds of the high frequency spectrum at certain points.

Following presentation at Museum Kunstpalast at the end of January during Sparda’s Palastrauschen.
