Klien & Tutschku: Multi-channel Double Feature
agitated slowness, a 24-channel electroacoustic composition by Hans Tutschku (World Premiere).
Kristallgatsch / Strahlung, a composition by Volkmar Klien.

Two musical compositions that each share a 44-speaker array placed in three rings from ear level to 30 feet in the air. Both immerse the listener in waves of sound, coming from all directions.

The Austrian Cultural Forum New York recommends the three day festival FILAMENT, which includes performances by the Austrian sound artist Volkmar Klien and Hans Tutschku. With over 15 premieres spanning theater, 24-channel sound, contemporary dance, video, and a barn-raising; exchanges with artists, curators, and creative engineers; and a dynamic archive of the artistic process, this festival highlights EMPAC’s focus on creation via commissions and residencies.
