A two-week project from Luke Munn and Johnny Chang at Ohrenhoch, the audio gallery, featuring installation and live performance.
A selection of field recordings from Los Angeles, London, Auckland, New York, Berlin, Italy, Hong Kong and Taiwan were presented in the main gallery space. As the recordings played, the room on Weichselstraße was sonically relocated to other spaces around the world.
Recordings of ambient sound taken from the neighbourhood around the gallery were transcribed - each tone noted and listed. These formed a trio of scores, which were performed in the gallery's cellar space with a multitude of small instruments and objects: a plastic bag, harmonica, bicycle bell, glass pieces, and others. Audience members were invited to bring along their own objects from the Outside: coins, keys, scraps of paper and other detritus that were activated acoustically as part of the performance.
