Versch September 1, 2007

The VERSCH festival season starts with a spectacular outdoor performance from Die Audio Gruppe around the Sugar Factory during the early night. The AUDIO PEACOCKS are site-specific electro-acoustic clothes and dresses (equipped with amplifiers and loudspeakers) that create sounds by interacting with their environment and the audience. ReturnOfTheSpaceInvaders is all about remixing pop-culture. Taking the full depth of all audio-visual media ever made since the arcade game space-invaders hit the market. ReturnOfTheSpaceInvaders is not bleep, micro or techno, it’ s called post-retro. New technologies and self build software are ingredients to the blend of different audio-visual mash-up styles and sounds. In theTranspose installation several light pillars visualize the music by translating incoming music signals to light. The musical elements are floating up inside the pillars, so you can read the rhythm of the music. It enhances and intensifies the experience twice, by ear and by eye. Media art program i.c.w.
