By Admin | October 18, 2007
Sound Installations is organized by the Sub-Department of Culture of the government of the Canary Islands in the Circulo de Bellas Artes de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, from today, September 28, until October 27, 2007
“The play has its own life, with ups and downs, and produces a sound ideal to transmit energy,” said the Dutch artist Peter Bosch, one of the creators of Krachtgever, at the press conference.
Krachtgever is a dynamic system in which the sound and movement are in constant development.
A wall formed by wooden boxes as a vibrant packaging.
Fourteen columns two and a half meters high and 12 meters long, each formed by four wooden crates, joined by docks and controlled by oscillating engines.
These engines are run by computer to modify the rotation speed, causing interference between the frequencies interesting vibratory stimulated and natural frequencies of construction.
Depending on the combination of engines and the frequencies we choose, which can occur either vibrate independently each box, or a stack full maintain a regular movement itself, or a mixture of vibrations can be generated simultaneously in different positions the whole system.
Each box contains various materials. These “raids”, which vary according to volume, weight and sound have their own characteristics.
When the engine through oscillating stimulate the various vibrations of all the elements-the docks, boxes and their contents, and so on - is an extraordinary complex system.
But despite this complexity, the relationship between all the elements of the facility, visual and auditory, it is not ambiguous. The sounds are pure, without amplification and wealth.
The repertoire of Krachtgever can be described as lots of sounds that vary in strength, rhythm and timbre from the subtle to the energetic, up from the orderly chaotic.
No trick. They are just machines that recreate their own game somewhere in a fascinating world between order and chaos.
