Rubén D’Hers (Venezuela). Lives and works in Berlin. Acoustic guitars, zithers, piano strings, cable, stones, hanging motors, pliers, waving cords, bird feathers, cages and refrigerators parts comprise his works to move between composition, sculpture and sound installations. His work operates from chord based compositions that become sound spaces exploring the vertical and the static. His recent work examines the ubiquity, the stationary and imperceptible quality of sounds in interior spaces related to ventilation & cooling systems, thus trying to unveil their potential as found musical material while inquiring into how closed spaces sound like and how they can appeal to our involuntary aural imagery.
The piece we are going to listen to tonight is the first one in a series and is called Nebensonne Eins.
