Excerpt of Noise concert with a former gasheater and self-soldered electronics, live at 013 Tilburg

In this set-up, called: Noise-Lab I am using a loudspeaker as instrument by playing with resonance. My starting point of this instrument was putting a question-mark at the objectivity of loudspeakers. In other words: What would happen if I gave a speaker a very subjective, and own specific sound, which had nothing to do anymore with the original sound signal it received. Like an analogue filter. So I used a former gas-heater, added a spring out of a truck to amplify its resonance, and made an iron frame, where all the elements were hanging like in a christmas tree, for maximum resonance. With a subwoofer the installation started to vibrate, which I expanded with sending feedback back into the system, which was picked up by microphones again.

At particular frequencies the iron started to quake and produced sounds (or noise), amplified my mics, and sometimes I added effects, to make the impact larger, controlled by self-built midifaders. With this laboratorium-like set-up (including white suit and sterile gloves) I express a sound research or a loudspeaker operation. This instrument was the forerunner of my later built "Rauschmachine".
