Musik für Barbaren und Klassiker breaks the traditional boundaries between concerts, sound installations, sculpture and music. The exhibition creates as such a place where the dynamic of exchange between performance and spatiality.

Composer Stevie Wishart combines sound techniques from the Middle Ages with the latest techniques and technologies. Together with Yvonne Mohr she made The Sound of Gesture, a video and sound installation that was included in the Institute for Music and Acoustics at ZKM (Karlsruhe). As the musician plays violin, movements of her hands are detected via small sensors. This data is converted into new digital sound textures, and as such the original sound is altered.
