Raviv Ganchrow, Inwound. Site-specific sound installation at Berlin’s Potsdamer Platz, part of Tuned City, Berlin, 2008.

The next BALTAN Session on May 31 is dedicated to improvising strategies for (sonic) spaces. Joel Ryan (US) and Raviv Ganchrow (US) will discuss how they explore and respond to unstable and changing spatial contexts in their electronic music and sound work. What different layers of data and bandwidth can be played? What possibilities do visible and invisible layers of spatial information and context provide for improvised electronic sound and music? How can this be translated and transformed?

Spawned in the first generation of computer music hackers in San Francisco’s silicon valley, Joel Ryan is a composer who has long championed the idea of performance-based electronic music. Raviv Ganchrow’s work focuses on interrelations between sound and space, aspects of which are explored through sound installations, writing and the development of sound forming technologies such as Wave Field Synthesis.
