Brief concept -"Sound of tones"
In the project “Klang derTöne ”is about young people from Mannheim, especially from the Friedrich List School, combining tones, voices and noises from Germany and Israel into a sound collage in a field recording workshop. The workshop should last a total of two weeks and take place in the Musikpark Mannheim. It is led by Zacharias Zschenderlein, a digitally and analogue music teacher. The resulting sound collage is uploaded to an internet cloud and continued by another group of young people in another city. The result is a complete piece, which will be shown with recordings from Germany and Israel as well as photos at a closing event in summer 2018. The sound collage created in this way can also be presented in public space, for example in an S-Bahn underpass or in a similar location, which is then exposed to the sound collage and presents the project on an information board.
The workshop took place at the end of February; the result will be presented on May 2nd at 7:30 p.m. at the University of Mannheim as part of a joint event with the Juingen Forum Mannheim.
The aim of the workshop is for the young people to train acoustic perception and sensitivity by working with the sounds and tones. Above all, they “dive” into a strange acoustic world and use “music as a global language”. In this way, stereotypical perspectives can be corrected and the perception of “self” and “foreign” is trained.
