listening into the light like never before.
optosonics is a forgotten technology that was widely in use to store, transmit or manipulate information in the beginning of the 20th century. we will give a brief overview of the history and current developments of optosonics in art and technology, using our “sonic luz” synthesizer as a starting point.you will have hands-on experience with an optical sound receiver and an optical sound sender built out of very few electronic parts and experiment with this surprisingly simple technology.also we will provide schematics and part-lists for building your own optical sound receiver- and sender.

This freeware is widely used by improvising musicians all over the world. Teaching position at the university of applied arts, vienna. Steady dispute with the computer as a musical instrument.
noid understands his work as fundamental research leading to a wide range of contradictory outcome, spanning from cello-solo and tape-pieces to compositions for ensembles, improvisation scores or performances with electronic or hybrid instruments, from sound-installations to videos and imaginary music. He is curating for the monthly series “Der Blöde Dritte Mittwoch” and an annual Sound-Art exhibition in Nickelsdorf.He is teaching at the Multimedia-Art department of the University for Applied Science in Salzburg.
