Three Music Machines
Peter Bosch and Simone Simons have been involved in performances, concerts and theatre productions. Since 1990, however, they have focused in particular on the development of autonomous “music machines”. All these machines are dynamic: Sound and movement are constantly evolving.
The Krachtgever is their best-known piece for its Golden Nica, received at Prix Ars Electronica. The other projects on the LP are
Cantan un Huevo, commissioned by the Ives Ensemble and awarded at the International Competition of Electroacoustic Music and Sonic Art, Bourges, France, and one of their first installations,
Was der Wind zum Klingen bringt, shown in the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, and at the Multimediale 2, Z.K.M., Karlsruhe.
The LP demonstrates that sound produced by the Bosch & Simons music machines can also be listened to as autonomous “music”.
