Orchestrating Space by Icosahedral Loudspeaker (OSIL) by Gerriet K. Sharma

The project "Orchestrating Space by Icosahedral Loudspeaker" (OSIL) aimed at increasing the practical and theoretical understanding of electroacoustic sound phenomena that are defined by their sculptural-choreographic nature, i.e., exhibiting localization, motion, and extent. Such auditory objects are new means of expression and as such they have already been subject of artistic research in the project "The Choreography of Sounds" (CoS), PEEK AR 41. In particular, the project focused on the icosahedral loudspeaker (IKO) constructed at IEM in order to project auditory objects into rooms, a feature that has already been successfully employed in various sonic art works that have been performed in concerts and installations in different halls and listening situations. Within OSIL artists and scientists were working closely together trying to understand the field of 3D audio better with an multi-perspective approach to foster and extend aesthetical practices in this field.

guts'n'faders

06/10/2018 at Helmut List Halle Graz

A co-production of IEM – Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz and ORF musikprotokoll.

Together with a number of young composers, guts’n’faders explore the performative and spatial-acoustic possibilities of the IKO, putting a wide range of different variations of contemporary music “into space,” from algorithmic structures (Orestis Toufektsis) to linguistic composition (Reinhold Schinwald), from archaic murmurs (Lorenzo Troiani) to a nonchalant blend of styles between rock music and avant-garde (Stephan Schweiger).

Installation at Künstlerhaus Graz during the exhibition Artificial Paradise? Immersion in Space and Time

Edgard Varèse guest-professorship: Final Concert at SIM Berlin

Opening: 22/09/2018
Duration: 23/09-29/11/2018

For this exhibition Gerriet K. Sharma developed the sculptural sound composition mirage redux for IKO and architecture.

In autumn 2018, the Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst & Medien will address the immersion in artificial worlds. Considering past, as well as present approaches, Artificial Paradise? Immersion in Space and Time will bring together recent immersive works by twelve international artists with works newly commissioned for the exhibition.

The exhibition was an event of the steirischerherbst’18 festival.

Semaphor: Premiere at Acker Stadt Palast Berlin

Semaphor – spatial sound-composition for Helder Tenor Recorder and IKO

25. and 26.10.2018 – 8.00 p.m.
Acker Stadt Palast Berlin

Semaphor is a spatial sound-composition for two pioneering instruments, which are explored both practically and theoretically by the artists Susanne Fröhlich and Gerriet K Sharma: Helder Tenor recorder and the Icosahedral loudspeaker (IKO).

If one understands both instruments as sound projectors, sound textures in sculpturally entangled states, spatially demarcated sound layers and scenographies can be composed and perceived in a way, scarcely producible in this ensemble constellation until now.
The piece attempts to discover the shared perceptual spectrum of both instruments in dialogue and thus to expand the aesthetic possibilities of spatial composition in the present.

A production by Susanne Fröhlich & Gerriet K. Sharma in cooperation with Acker Stadt Palast Berlin.
Supported by Initiative Neue Musik Berlin e.V.
