PORTS IN TRANSITION, performance and listening session feat. Jonas Yamer and accomplices
The sound piece „Ports in Transition“ explores the acoustic landscapes of the Mediterranean. A central point of reference is a field recording of ship horns at the port of Piraeus: on Epiphany, the ships make their horns sound at the same time. This field recording is used for sampling and as a source signal for modular synthesizers and translated into a score for a wind quartet.
In a performative live version of the sound piece, the Lenbachhaus’s garden is defined as an open field of sending and receiving. Members of the audience can become involved as accomplices of the performance: equipped with instruction manuals and walkie-talkies, they can send signals to a monumental guitar amplifier sculpture and become a formative part of the performance.
Commissioned by the Goethe Institute Athens and the Onassis Foundation, the sound piece premiered at the festival „Movement 1920–2020“ (Onassis Stegi, Athens).

PORTS IN TRANSITION, sound work, commissioned by Goethe-Institute Athens and Onassis Stegi. Partner: Lenbachhaus Munich.
The sound piece „Ports in Transition“ explores the acoustic landscapes of the Mediterranean area as a transitory non-place. The composition is based on field recordings from archives and online databases. A central reference point is a field recording of ship horns at the port of Piraeus: for epiphany, the ships make their horn sound at the same time. During the production process, this material is used for sampling, as signals for modular synthesizers, as well as an instruction manual for alt-saxophone, bass clarinet, trumpet and flugelhorn.
