Peter Strickmann

Through the use of radically simple and sparse means, I aim to reveal and reward the multiple listening habits that evolve from daily routine and sudden surprise. By focusing on the vibrant „Ding“ and its social, acoustic and theatrical feedback I create joint listening environments in situ, in promptu, in echt.

I create lo-fi kinetic arrangements for exhibitions and employ a set of found objects, custom-built windinstruments, percussiontools and feedback manipulation when performing solo or with diverse noise- and performance-groups.
