vvvwvw… is an acoustic and visual synthesizer that opens up and expands the richness of sound waves, their formal possibilities as well as their symbolism: the wave in the image as a function taken from time, which can be arranged autonomously here; the acoustic periodicity articulated in the beating, the room resonance, the standing sine, which places the sounding natural form in space and is „played“ by the moving listener.
Since Corona, we have been practised in reading wave progressions, following their course and discussing their prognosis. In the work of art, they become the drama of hearing and seeing par excellence.

YouTube Playlist „Konzeptmusik“
Snadris Murin hat mit mir zusammen eine YouTube-Playlist konzeptueller Musik kuratiert.
It was my pleasure to work with Johannes Kreidler to create a Youtube playlist of 10 concept music pieces. We defined concept music as music where the idea produces the pieces itself and composer intervention is the least possible. You can find the link to this Youtube playlist in the first comment.
Here is our list:
– 4’33 composed by John Cage
– MINUSBOLERO composed by Johannes Kreidler
– Sol Lewitt performed by John Baldessari
– Crypto Silence created by Dmitri Kourliandski
– Arnold Schoenberg, op. 11 – I – Cute Kittens created by CoryArcangel
– Die Geburt des Künstlers aus dem Geiste der Musik created by Trond Reinholdtsen
– Guitar Drag created by Christian Marclay
– Up next composed by Dylan Richards
– The Chord Catalogue composed by Tom Johnson
– Inverted Piano created by Tomomi Adachi

Meine erste LP: „abstracts“
„Musik gilt generell als relativ abstrakt, die Töne und Klänge stehen für keinen Inhalt. Doch wie weit kann man das treiben? Diese Stücke sind Extremfälle der musikalischen Abstraktion.“

Baden-Württemberg as a follow-up of the exhibition „Ghost Notes“ 2022.

Komposition studieren in Basel
Composers, young or advanced, come to Basel to study composition! We have an enthusiastic team of composers as well as instrumentalists, improvisers, audio designers, music theorists, musicologists and a philosopher who are dedicated to new music, guest teachers/lecturers, many cooperation projects e.g. with Basel Sinfonietta, Theater Basel, Zeiträume Festival, Art Basel, Tinguely Museum and exchange programs with other schools (for example 2024 with Harvard University). The beautiful town at the border to Germany and France is a cultural center of middle Europe, located close to Zürich and Freiburg, with lots of music, art and theater around.
Application deadline is 15th February. You can contact me for further information.

* Bereits 2019 veröffentlicht, aber mir erst jetzt bekannt: Max Erwins Text „Cyberbored/Culture-Jammed: The Short-Circuit of Musical Progress “
The following investigation identifies two potential departure points for scholarship on the work of Johannes Kreidler and – the following scare quotes should be read very emphatically indeed – technologically “engaged” art in general. In both cases, I demonstrate how Kreidler’s technological practice undermines two ideological traditions – and their respective foundational myths – of techno-musical progress. The first tradition, characterised by an immanent universalism and a concomitantly utopian teleology, is manifested in a number of hierarchical, “establishment” institutions: New Music in the upper case. The second, predicated on relativistic epistemology and focused on subject-centred musical practice with emphasis on the performance of marginalised social identities, has lately emerged, largely in response to upper-case New Music, as a non-hierarchical, emancipatory narrative – a sort of counterutopia – and is perhaps best exemplified by the individual “composerperformer” and their close collaborators: lower-case “new music”, as it were. This tradition’s critical position towards upper-case New Music (sometimes, not particularly helpfully, conflated with Modernism) is probably quite familiar by now, in Anglo-American scholarship, for example, from the works of Georgina Born and Lydia Goehr, among many others. However, I argue that Kreidler’s work – in addition to that of a few of his younger contemporaries – not only attacks hierarchical-institutionalb New Music in the upper case but also demonstrates the ethical and aesthetic limitations of lower-case new music practice, problematizes its emancipatory claims, and ultimately exposes its utopian project as an impotent, aporetic offshoot of the tradition it purportedly rejects. Despite this, Kreidler’s work can nevertheless be understood, via Virilio, as fundamentally humanistic in its performance of artistic futility, deploying pitiless technological processes to reveal a pitiful human subject.
