In my master’s thesis, I combine two personal fields of interest – architecture and noise music. I want to make my fascination for unusual sounds that are associated with noise or noise can be experienced and spatialized.
Studying architecture has helped me to sharpen my perception, my surroundings more closely, to incorporate the existing into my work processes and to find qualities even in the unsightly. Processes of reinterpretation and reinterpretation and conversion processes interest me in both my architectural and musical in both my architectural and musical projects.
In the long run, city noise is unquestionably disturbing and harmful to health. How do we deal with noise? How many nuances of noise are we exposed to in the city?Are some of these nuances beautiful if you listen carefully?
I want to explore and recognize qualities by listening, accepting and enduring the noises. and recognize them. I want to find beauty in what surrounds us and work with the disturbing and unattractive. What potential does urban noise have for spatial representations?
My research is limited to the area around the Messe-Nord/ICC, the supposedly supposedly the loudest place in Berlin. A place that creates a great tension between excessive demands and enthusiasm, melancholy and euphoria. I don’t want to design a space that has special acoustics, nor do I want to search for solutions to the problem of noise pollution. Rather give the noise itself a spatial expression. Detached from the location of the recording, I alienate the sounds and place them in a new context. In order to find forms of representation, I look for direct methods to to minimize the distance between me and the noise and to enable more conscious listening. With the help of experiments, I develop different types of notation.
First on paper, then in space.
