Based on his sound installations with various sound archives, Hanno Leichtmann has conceived a series in the Konzerthaus Berlin, each of which brings a special instrumentalist into dialogue with himself in a multi-channel setting. The concerts are a mixture of sound installation, improvisation and prepared sound material by the performer, who is also the living
"archive" of the installation.
Leichtmann sends selected sounds from previously made recordings he made from the performers through his machine park of voltage-controlled samplers/loopers and then assembles these newly designed sounds into a multi-channel sound installation. To do this, he extracts a large number of individual sounds or clusters, layers, repitches, stretches and processes them using various methods of early electronic (tape) music, and thus composes in each case
a unique, modern soundtrack for the performer.
