Scoring the Demix.Interactive chamber music installation. "The Message of Music", Palais Harrach, Kunsthistorisches Museum. Vienna. 1996.
Concept: Christian Moeller and Wilfried Seipel, Music selection: Thomas Trabitsch, Music: Mutare Ensemble, Conductor: Gerhard Mueller-Hornbach, Recording and sound: Willi Bopp, Video: Anna Saup, Digitalization and synchronization: Hubert Machnik, Hardware development: Wolfgang Schemmert, Screen design: Paul Claessen
Within an orchestral performance, the discrete tonal characteristics of individual instruments are not discernable to non-musicians not trained to perceive them. Listeners cannot concentrate on one isolated instrument from an entire orchestra for more than a few moments. The possibility of isolating and intensifying the musical qualities of individual instruments enables the listener to discover new, amusing and fascinating levels of variable acoustic perception during a concert performance. In this project, a touch-screen monitor enables the visitor to regulate the playback volume of individual instruments and to listen to them on their own. When the music starts, the notes of the given musical score appear on screen and a vertical line follows the progress of the music note for note, for each instrument. Ghostly images of individual musicians are mirrored into the center of the installation space, and fade in and out of view according to listener's remixing of the score.
