Soundlines

Sound & Motion JHB recently hosted The Soundlines Exibition in Collaboration with Marcus Neustetter.

The Soundlines project originally began in early 2008 when Marcus drew the skyline of Johannesburg and Cape Town as sheet music and invited sound artists and musicians to interpret and respond to these images.

Joao Orecchia, Murry Turpin, Daniel Stompie Selebi, Ziza Mhlongo and Zubz responded to the challenge and collaborated to record the project at Sound & Motion JHB in March 2008.

The process of interpreting visual art into a musical sound-scape proved to be a very intriguing and exiting process from which the collective improvisation of these very talented artists produced some great results!

The resulting sound-scape's were mixed by Sound & Motion and presented at the exhibition by Marcus Neustetter in an unabridged (20m15s) and a shorter (2m52s) version along with an editioned glass artwork produced in the proportions of the glass that separated Neustetter from the sound responses in the recording studio.

Have a listen to the 2m52s version of the soundlines project which has been uploaded!
