VERTIGO (2019) for 4 loudspeakers and carousel - BINAURAL

New Music by Karlheinz Essl

Imagine yourself sitting on a carousel and circling around. On your ride, you can hear music from 4 loudspeakers that are mounted at the foot of the carousel. Only those who let their bodies swing round and round will hear, feel, and experience the music composed for this situation. For this occasion, Karlheinz Essl has created a swirling sound environment based on his composition „Kalimba” for toy piano and electronics. Part of „Let’s merry-go-round” - a project by musikprotokoll in collaboration with the International Summer Academy of the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
