Outline and Syllabus:

The representation of pitch space in acoustical space. Analytical spatialisation used in „circle_of_fifths“

Western music is organized in a virtual space of 12 pitches, ordered in a circle of equidistant fifths and repeating over several octaves. this sentence not only sounds abstract, but also the concept has little physical reality to experience.

on the other hand, in recent years, multi-channel systems have become much more widely available.

for my installation circle_of_fifths i tried to combine the imaginary interval circle with a real multi-speaker circle. after extracting individual pitch-classes from recordings of music it allows playback of each pitch thru a separate loudspeaker. melodies are transformed into spatial movements, harmonies are grouped spacings and the musical gestalt can be experienced in a new dimension. the workshop will introduce the ideas and techniques behind this concept and discuss some implications on the general idea of spatialisation.
