Sound|Architecture
Last year the Austrian singer, songwriter and guitarist Daniel Pabst presented his band project Pabst as part of SUAL 2015. This time we’ll focus on his photographic oeuvre (see photo exhibition) which in turn serves as inspirational source and starting point for compositional rapprochements. Students of the University Course for Computer Music and Electronic Media (ELAK) of the Viennese University of Music were invited to create electroacoustic works in response to selected photographs by Pabst. Five works will be premiered at SUAL 2016, the respective photographs being on display as part of the adjacent photo exhibition.
