The current issue of our newsletter is all about sound in three-dimensional art. Our author, Willy Hafner, listened to Lina Lapelyté's sound sculpture "Copper Lick" in Munich. Etienne Boileau met with sound artist Casimir Geelhoed and talked to him about the interfaces between composition, software and sculpture. Last but not least, we are planning an exciting Dialogue as well as the next Online Club for you. Enjoy reading!

A Sound Box made of two Limestones
Until June 18, two concave-shaped Lithuanian limestone foundlings weighing several tonnes will be standing in Munich's Isar meadows, near the Deutsches Museum. Every Tuesday at 5 p.m., they are transformed into a sound sculpture. Copper Lick is what Lina Lapelyté calls her ‛sound stones’. They capture the sounds of the environment like large satellite dishes.
Sound art is a relatively new shoot on the ever-expanding stem of the arts. Especially the digital revolution in sound technology in recent decades has created many new possibilities, such as ‘object-based audio’, a technique often used by sound artist and composer Casimir Geelhoed (NL, 1995). With a few buttons on his iPad, he can control a large number of virtual sound sources simultaneously during a live performance. Groups of sounds spread through the room like swarms, flow around like an overwhelming vortex, or fly up into the air. This creates an abstract play of forms in a space that interfaces with choreography, architecture, and sculpture.
Let's meet online! At our next Online Club on 17 June, we will be looking at the topic of Paper as a Sculptural Material. Or would you prefer meeting on-site and analogue? Then head to Pirna in Germany or Capdepera in Mallorca! Our next Dialogues will take place there on 23 and 26 June. Whether digital or analogue: we look forward to seeing you again!
