Sound-Installation Transit
Max Joy & Jonas Margraf

 

Transit

 

Sound installation for 24 loudspeakers and software

An austere corridor, bringing visitors from A to B. Its function is preserved, the situation changed. A new atmosphere is created. Sounds wander, build formations. States are established and abolished.

The sonic material of the composition is made up of forms of digital synthesis, physical models, field recordings and performed sound recordings.

Transit presents an evolution of the installation Arc, which was shown at Superbooth in 2016. A purpose-built control software facilitates the movement and spatialization of sounds along the corridor.

Max Joy

Space-staging and site-specific art in public spaces, starting from sound, architecture and situational conditions, are the challenges for the installations by Max Joy. The choice of media and methods of realization depend on the individual project. Since the early 90ies these installations have been presented in locations as varied as foyers, ruins, skyscrapers, on the lake, or inside public transportation.

Stations along the way have been: Wonga (with Gerhard Behles) at Electronic Art Festival in Antwerpen and at Kunst-Bunker in Nürnberg, the sensor Club in Berlin, Raiffeisen a former bank building in Nordhessen, a modified urban railway - the sensor-Train on the north-south route in Berlin, the Ambient-Lounge at Haus des Lehrers at Alexanderplatz, and much more...

and the Electronic Studio at TU Berlin.
