Harp last weekend at Nuit de la culture Esch sur A

Harp last weekend at Nuit de la culture Esch sur Alzette.

Harp is a temporary immersive audio-visual outdoor installation, which invites passers-by to form an orchestra for a moment. The artwork’s light and sound design brings the audience together to create a playful symphony of gentle, dreamy tones. The work is structured around thirty-two interactive vertical lines that chime and illuminate with a wave of the hand. Placing one’s palm under one of the sensors will change the light and sound tones. At the same time, like the strings of a harp, each of the lines has been designed to play a different note.
It is a re-interpretation of the musical instrument which it takes its name from, but with contrast to it, this harp is played by several harpists at a time. Whether it is used to play a song or individual notes, the tone ladder has been tuned in such a way, that the instrument will always create an acoustically pleasing experience.
A circular setup invites people to gather around and allows for an open-ended multi-user experience. It promotes creativity and playfulness in public space, but also brings a sense calm. It invites people to pause and enjoy the beauty of playing music together without ever needing to practice.

Loops is updated and tuned in my atelier, ready for upcoming gigs. For bookings, send me a dm.

With the work Loops, Jonas Vorwerk comes back to the idea of creating new spatial and collective interfaces for music making. A concept he has already addressed in earlier works such as the Lightbox Sequencer, Windorgel and Music Forest, but this time focusing on a different aspect – audio loops. Almost as if he was taking contemporary music apart, Vorwerk explores its elements in isolation and builds devices that introduce them to a wider audience.
This installation acts as a highly intuitive apparatus that allows anyone to play around with loop-based musical compositions. As it were Loops pay a tribute to the music lab of the 50’s and 60’s where experimentation with analogue magnetic tapes built the ground for modern music making. Vorwerk’s lab, however, is not an enclosed studio full of experts. It is out in the open, anywhere in the public space. His inconspicuous circular sound machines can be operated by anyone, and even though they are primarily digital their interface is purely kinetic and manual, allowing the user to quickly understand how to use them.
The speed and playback direction of the preprogrammed samples are manipulated by a steel controller-wheel. Its material properties such as weight and resistance consciously introduce a hand-operated element to sound control, at the same time making the artwork play with both the digital and the analogue realms. Its simple and elegant form together with vibrant light animations create a corresponding visual reflection of the soundscape lab created by the public and form an unusual audio-visual spectacle.
