=== cascada - sound installation // [[User:R dh|Ruben Dhers]] ===
#REDIRECT [[GMU:My favorite things/Projekte/cascada]]
<br />
Cascada  is  a  sound  installation  for  prepared  guitars  and  fans  that  musically  interprets  the  sound of  a  waterfall  and  seeks  to  approach  the  vital  irregularities  that  characterise  natural  events.  In  so doing,  Cascada  resizes  the  sound  potential  of  an acoustic  instrument  and creates  a  sound  architecture that only exists in the music of the installation.

<br />
The installation works with the amplified natural sound of the guitars without any kind of audio processing. Computer controlled hanging and placed fans (dc motors) strum the strings with variable intensity. The space is filled with a mass of harmonics and chords that suggest no beginning or end.  Cascada drives the listener to a contemplative state.
