Klang macht Macht

/zeitraumexit @ T6/18 / Lecture-Performance + Ethics Disco / german + english / 16+ yrs / 

We learned to deal with the flood of images that we´re confronted with on a daily basis. However we´re immediately exposed to the emotional effect of sound. The enveloping sound is never only harmless white noise. It defines territory, may become a weapon, voices steer and control. Domination also manifests itself acoustically through voice and suggestion, noise and war, audio technology and the military and we can´t get away from that authority.

Subsequently: Ethics Disco with records from Kalle Laar´s sound archive. 

Kalle Aldis Laar is an author for radio plays and features, a music producer and media historian, among other things, and is studying  history of science at the LMU Munich.
