Vom Öffnen des Ortes. Elektroakustische und instrumentale Transformationen öffentlicher Orte im Kontext von Geschichte und Politik [Lecture]
In the organizer's words:
Peter Gahn is dedicated to the artistic exploration of places, especially those with historical or political references, and the transformation of these experiences into instrumental and electro-acoustic music. During his artistic explorations, composer Peter Gahn collects sounds that are recorded, experienced or remembered, as well as structures such as those found in architecture. These impressions are then translated into electro-acoustic noises and signals in order to find their sonic equivalent. The resulting music is transformed into further layers in subsequent processes, which can be performed in parallel or alternatively.
The lecture will explain the background and genesis of the work complex Vom Öffnen des Ortes (2022), which was created after researching the Reformation Memorial Church in Nuremberg, which was consecrated in 1938, and the main synagogue in Nuremberg, which was destroyed in 1938. Audio, GPS and motion recordings of walks from the gates of the city wall to the former synagogue square form a focal point of this composition. In addition, the work complex De-escalating Skies (2017), which was created after research into hidden military infrastructure in the Rhineland, and a work in progress on the historically contaminated Nuremberg Opera House will also be presented. Before and after the lecture, Vom Öffnen des Ortes can be experienced as an installation with sound, video and light.
