Four Ophones New York Tour 2006

17-22 November

Four Ophones New York Tour 2006

Four Ophones is an interactive sound installation that allows visitors to record sounds that are replayed infinitely until replaced by other sounds.

The installation provides a space for playful musical collaboration and language-independent conversations where the visitors themselves become composers, instrumentalists and listeners at the same time. Ophones foster everything from subtle interference etudes; collaborative chanting; semi-automated, social commentary; to dense polyrhytmic drone parties.

After having visited Scandinavia, Europe, and Asia the Four Ophones are finally heading west for a five day tour of galleries, streets and clubs:
