Some of my sound installations have neither a musical beginning nor an end. You go to the place of installation and leave it and thus determine the beginning and end of the sound or piece of music yourself. I would like to acoustically process some of my existing installations, take over their algorithms and play them in real time for the radio. The interactive objects are played randomly. The computer is supposed to simulate what a visitor normally does. It decides what the person changes and also how many people get involved. The installations are called: string box matrix, ground socket organ, time and sound, from B to M and back.
A new project deals with the choral piece: "Selig sind die Toten" by Heinrich Schütz. This piece should be acoustically dismantled, stretched and audibly changed as an installation. An installation is planned in the city park of Weißenfels, which is also a cemetery. The individual voices should sound out of stones.
Ground sockets of one type all look the same, but sound at different pitches if you hit them with a hammer, for example. This is due to manufacturing inaccuracies. Every hardware store offer the same parts of these objects, but in different pitches without noticing, as it is irrelevant to the actual function. But for me there are glissandi in quarter tone intervals and an exciting journey of discovery from hardware store to hardware store.
I am trying to work on 22 installations and would like to create a cross-section of all parts on the hour - an acoustic summary. Short moments of sound, which then turn into a meditative listening experience. The hour starts quickly and ends slowly. Each hour has its own story that can be heard before the sound.
Erwin Stache, born in Schlema in the Erzgebirge, is a musician, composer, sound artist and object artist. He lives near Leipzig. He has begun studying physics, mathematics, pedagogy, to switch later into the piano (study with Ralf Rank) and the organ (church music director Konrad Heinig). His installations combine sound and music with artistic elements and are mostly based on a humorous alienation of everyday objects. He invents new music instruments, realizes permanent installations in the public space and builds music - playgrounds, where playing devices become sound objects. Some of the objects are located in museums and world of experience. In 2002 he founded the group Atonor, young people who work with their instruments and sound objects and give concerts. With installations, concerts and performances Stache was at many important festivals(Donaueschingen, Witten, Munich, etc. There were invitations to longer work stays to Asia and Africa.
