about

In the compositions I deal with the pause, sound timing and spatial possibilities of the 10 channel sound. This work is a realization of the theme “Sound gardens” that I explored in my diploma work. ( Zvukové instalace v zahradách – Sound installations in gardens, Faculty of Fine Arts VUT, Brno, 2005). Installation was partly inspired by the TIMET group (www.timet.org) with which I have met in Firenze on a workshop that they organized. The concept of a sonic garden I realized in the “synchronised and interactive” manner. The space of a garden I understand here as a one complex – as a big sonic container – where the sound is moving ( rather than independent sonic islands).
The independent chapter was a complete development and building of the central control panel – the touch interface.
