At the recidency at the IEM CUBE the artist duo developed a piece of structured improvisation working with realtime spatialisation in an instrumental and improvisational context. The main focus was how to deal with moving virtual sound sources in an ambisonics sound field, how many sounds can improvisers and musicians control to be still aesthetically and musically valid beyond cheap showmanship. Basic soundmaterial are the sounds of things connected to the internet, a topic also in the center of the concert at musikprotokoll 2017 - The Sound of the Internet of Things. The IEM CUBE with its periphonic speaker dome is the perfect venue for this kind of intermedia type of live music, oszillating between digital and electronic aesthetics and live musicanship with percussion and guitar. Improvisation. Latest ambisonic technologies, the software developed at the IEM, will be used for the live performance at the Cube and to transfer the spatial and live experience to the earphones concetrs at Kunsthalle Graz, best acoustic for all guaranteed.
