A tent in the park. Something is hiding inside, collecting and digesting the sound of its surroundings. Tentacles reach out and grab information from the environment. The sonic memory becomes an audible, raw and archaic soundscape that represents the essence and character of the site: Sound transforms the site, site transforms the sound.

"A tent in the park" is part of the ongoing sound installation project "Concentrate #," which has been realized in various locations in Italy, Austria and Serbia. A computer-based and sensor-driven application collects sounds via microphones and processes them in real-time while these acoustic snapshots further feed the memory section of the machine. Simultaneously, various sensors (registering temperature, movement & light ) grab information from the surrounding environment directly affecting the sonic part of the performance.

A sonic memory unveals a sonic subconsciousness and the essence of the site.

An important part of the project is the social interaction with the local residents. The sound-installation tent becomes a meeting point and place for discussions, with servings of freshly grounded italian coffee.

The Concentrate # project is adaptable to various locations and situations.
