Artist Statement:
The acoustic communications between animals like frogs, cicadas or grasshoppers often give rise to group concerts or choruses. Both order and chaos appear to be present in the resulting sound patterns, and one may notice various rhythms and wavelike movements. Similar group processes can be realised with machines built specially for such a purpose. I developed several groups of small electronic machines which produce simple chorus-es. In ECAL’93 a live performance by a group of such “sound creatures” is presented.
