Worlds / Graz

ORF musikprotokoll × Volkskundemuseum Graz

Three composers built three worlds with Worlds — then the worlds left the screen and became a walkable headphone installation in the museum courtyard. Online, they stay open to everyone.

The Missing Dark Matter

Natasha Barrett
In The Missing Dark Matter, Natasha Barrett gives dark matter a voice: sonified galaxies fill the courtyard, each star a sound. Choose your zone — where dark matter holds the structure, or where everything drifts.

Limenfeld

Gerriet Krishna Sharma
Limenfeld composes space itself in a courtyard both virtual and physical. No loudspeakers, no map: only headphones, your orientation and your listening, as you walk through invisible zones of intensity.

Block Universe

Otto Iivari
Block Universe lets you walk inside a composition where past, present and future coexist: recorded moments from Finnish beaches and aspen meadows meet garage-made synthesis and a self-built tin-can chordophone.

Three worlds left the screen and became a walkable installation.

Visitors moved through the museum courtyard with headphones, located in space via tracking — hearing live how the sound changed with every step and every turn of the head. Three composers each built their own world with Worlds, travelling the opposite way: from the virtual world into real space.
