CITY OF NOISE

Soundbikes deluxe. Zum Auftakt der CITY OF NOISE Reihe finden Night Rides in Kooperation mit Veranstalter*innen und Record Labels aus Wien statt. Als Schwarm mit mobilen PA Lautsprechern ausgestattet, bewegt sich CITY OF NOISE durch die Stadt. Die Straße wird zur Bühne, das Fahrrad zum Soundvehikel, die kollektive Ausfahrt zum Konzert.

„No longer will machines dream through women, but will instead be built by them. They will be used not to mimic the impotent howl of aggression in a hostile world but reconfigure the very matrix of noise itself.” Nina Power, in Noise and Capitalism, 2008

RAD Performance presents concerts in public space, on the road and in motion, composing and playing while on the move. Pieces of music by different sound artists, the choral movement of the performers on the bicycle and the dynamics and distance between the moving sound sources create unique soundscapes for the audience. The concerts take place along cycle routes in the city of Vienna and other regions of Austria. A mobile loudspeaker orchestra accompanies the visitors on wheels. The acoustic, urban space complements, overlays and extends the electronic composition. At the crossroads of concert, performance and sound art, the bicycle becomes an artistic medium. RAD Performance creates a new way of experiencing urban space by bicycle.
