BERTRAND DENZLER & KLAUS FILIP
Das Rote Schloß
Klaus Filip – ppooll
computer music, programming, soundart
i am musician, soundartist and programer but i live in vienna.
my main concern is with sinewaves, their appearance in time and at the threshold of perception, as well as their entanglement with acoustic instruments.
as a soundartist i am researching the interplay between sound and light.
my software project ppooll is still in use by improvising musicians all over the world.
i studied electroacoustics and musicology a long time ago, teach at a university in vienna and was co-curating the reheat festival.
