Currently the Reeperbahn Festival<\/a> in Hamburg statt. Neben zig Konzerten,stehen auch viele Kunst-Projekte auf dem Programm, darunter auch ein interessantes Virtual Reality Erlebnis namens „Symphony of Noise“, das zum ersten Mal in voller L\u00e4nge vor Publikum pr\u00e4sentiert wird.<\/h3>\n

Immerse yourself in high-end worlds of sound, relearn how to hear, see and feel: the virtual reality experience \"A Symphony of Noise\" enables an interactive journey into everyday sounds and the music hidden within them: an easy-to-use algorithmic system transforms users into composers of their own everyday soundtrack - VR goes straight to your ears.<\/p>\n

The installation inspired by musician & producer Matthew Herbert, who turns sounds from everyday objects into electronic music, will be presented as a world premiere at the Reeperbahn Festival 2019. Matthew Herbert is not only recognised worldwide as a pioneer of electronic music and one of the most innovative musicians and DJs, but also as one of the most exciting conceptual artists around. His main concern is to change the way we listen, and he is not only interested in hearing quality in music, but also in consciously listening to all the sounds and tones in the world we live in.<\/p>\n

Shaping sounds with breathing<\/h3>\n

In this VR application, the user interactively creates a sound collage. Text panels provide instructions. For example, you can create sounds with your breath, with your voice or with your whole body. Or you can simply bang wildly on a virtual supermarket shelf. The milk cartons and cans make a noise as they tumble down, creating a rhythm.<\/p>\n

Den Machern geht es darum, mit der Wahrnehmung zu spielen – Erlebtes und in diesen Fall: Musik – noch intensiver erlebbar zu machen. „Der Nutzer wird zum Akteur. Er steuert im Prinzip die ganze Sache“, erkl\u00e4rt Phivos Angelos Kollias, der die „Symphony of Noise“ komponiert hat, und f\u00fcgt hinzu: „Wir haben zwar Erwartungen, was du tun wirst. Aber es kann sein, dass du dich ganz anders verh\u00e4ltst. Das ist wahrscheinlich die gr\u00f6sste Herausforderung. Am Ende m\u00fcssen wir – die Macher – loslassen. Aber f\u00fcr uns ist das auch genau der Reiz – die \u00fcberraschenden Ergebnisse.“<\/p>\n
