The photographic picture, as Point of Time – a mechanic glimpse – takes an event out of its context. Movement becomes standstill with the instantaneous moment of the exposure being arbitrarily stretched for deferred inspection. But what happens to the accompanying sonic environment?
Electroacoustic composition in five movements, total duration 18′.
For 16 groups of loudspeakers.


Visual and sonic snapshots have been taken simultaneously. The mathematical rectangle function of the photographic exposure operation has been applied to the sound recording completely analogous and synchronous to the optical information. By means of digital audio processing all time information is destroyed – virtually freezing the sonic image of the exposure moment.
The "Points of View" feature sound materials that hardly show relations to natural-sounding objects. Nor do the composed acoustic spaces originate from familiar contexts. The spaces enwrap, open up windows, form edges and surfaces. Sounds develop therein, unfold their existences and interact with each other. The listener cannot escape from taking his/her position within this sonic field, exposed to an architecture of sounds and their intrinsic mechanisms. Once almost familiar, and then again totally alien.  


Out of this stagnancy new movement emerges. Just as motion is anticipated from the photographic image, the sense of hearing reconstructs sonic processes by constantly scanning the rigid spectrum and seeking for clues within the expanse of noise.

Points of View (2010/2011)

Artist: Thomas Grill

Electroacoustic composition in five movements, total duration 18′. For 16 groups of loudspeakers.

The "Points of View" feature sound materials that hardly show relations to natural-sounding objects. Nor do the composed acoustic spaces originate from familiar contexts. The spaces enwrap, open up windows, form edges and surfaces. Sounds develop therein, unfold their existences and interact with each other. The listener cannot escape from taking his/her position within this sonic field, exposed to an architecture of sounds and their intrinsic mechanisms. Once almost familiar, and then again totally alien.
