IKT // NEW SOUNDS

festival of the Department of Composition Studies and Audio Production
 

05.-08. May 2025


SELF-OSCILLATION
CREATIVE USES OF FEEDBACK

// guest lecture: Adam PULTZ

@Klangtheater
(08.04., 10h)


Adam Pultz will demonstrate and discuss their work with hybrid electro-acoustic feedback systems, in particular the FAAB (feedback-actuated augmented bass). Combining the often unpredictable and non-linear behaviours of electro-acoustic feedback systems with signal processing allows for the creation of adaptive and self-organising processes that gives rise to autonomy at different levels and nodes in the network.

The visit is made possible through the STIP-4 stipend from Musikfonds Germany and is additionally funded by the European Union and the Goethe-Institut.
