From small-town Hessia to small-town China via a Norwegian glacier, calving
Part of the Chambers sound and architecture series of events http://www.asd-choir.org
Marc Behrens is a composer and sound artist living in Germany. His work occupies several cerebral and physical areas. It mainly consists of electronic music and sound installations, often accompanied by photography or video.
A number of examples from Behrens’s sound, installation, and visual work will be given and discussed in the framework of perception, experience and motivation. Much of the work is connected to specific locations and their context, such as a mountain village on the border between Italy and Slovenia, the Norwegian Nordfjord area and the Western Chinese province Qinghai.
Besides multichannel sound the installations feature three-dimensional objects, sometimes video projections and a basic implementation of interactivity. Behrens will show the processes that lead to the work, both in his own personal experience and motivation, as well as concerning the works’ technical realization.
