Spectral Cities is a collaboration of Christina Kubisch, Peter Kutin & Florian Kindlinger.
A space-spanning AVL composition, based on different spectral levels found in times of high frequency technology and digital media. In-perceivable signals are translated into the realm of human perception; electromagnetic fields are made audible, the continuous pulsation of alternating current become visible, as well as the heat emitted by an orchestra. The cloud of ubiquitous communication channels appears as a sonic texture, various light sources are turned into instruments. Spectral Cities is a reference to various congested areas around the globe. Even though there is a vast diversity of signals and an continuously changing perspective, the piece reminds us clearly of the fragile state the overloaded system we live in can be found at the moment.
