Piece Three is a spatial composition developed for the concert Listening to Climate Change with the Youth Orchestra Berlin. Audience cellphones became distributed sound sources that expanded the orchestral listening space throughout the hall.
The original project was a collaboration between Landesmusikrat Berlin and KLING KLANG KLONG // OUR ROLE Creative Direction, Concept, Composition, Sound Design, Programming, Mixing // Orchestra Landesjugendorchester Berlin / Conducter Lancelot Fuhry // Year 2022
Piece Three was developed for Listening to Climate Change, a concert created with the Youth Orchestra Berlin. The program combined classical repertoire with newly written compositions responding to a changing climate.
Created in collaboration with Landesmusikrat Berlin, the project explored how digital technologies could enter the traditional concert setting without replacing the orchestral performance itself. Audience cellphones became additional sound sources distributed throughout the hall, extending the composition into the listening space of the audience.
The spatial audio concept introduced localized sonic events beyond the stage and created a layered relationship between orchestra, architecture, and audience position. Rather than remaining fixed at the front of the room, sound unfolded across multiple points inside the concert hall.
Our contribution included the creative direction, concept development, composition, sound design, programming, and final mix of the spatial composition.
