YOKOMONO-PRO AT CTM.10

***************************************************************************
With an eye on CTM.10, Geert-Jan Hobijn / Staalplaat Soundsystem (http://www.staalplaat.org) and sound artists Ilpo Vaisanen and Mika Vainio (Pan Sonic) are busy preparing the outdoor sound-performance-action ‘Yokomono-Pro’. Staalplaat Soundsystem has won international renown for public actions devoted to investigating the sound properties of everyday objects, gadgets and different varieties of architecture, and immersing the audience in new auditory experiences.

We still need YOU!
For the performance on Sunday, 31 January 2010, we need a total of 30 volunteers, each with his/her own car, to be sound-drivers.

Yokomono-Pro features several groups of cars – 30 vehicles in total – playing synched sound-patterns and driving a carefully choreographed route around a specific (tba) location for a period of approx. 30 minutes. Each vehicle’s battery is hooked up to a specially designed horn that is triggered by low-frequency transmitters linked to a central controlling unit. After dividing the vehicles/drivers into groups and assigning each a specific route, Ilpo Vaisanen and Mika Vainio are able to ‘play’ them like an instrument: the interaction of choreographed traffic and the horns’ sound patterns creates a composition tailored to the spatial dimensions of the action.

The low-frequency transmitters will not interfere with any ‘official’ radio signals. The vehicles’ original horns remain independent of the added-on ‘action-horns’ and function as per usual at all times. Installation of the extra components is temporary and simple. No original car parts will be modified or removed so there is no danger of damage to participants’ vehicles.

Nor does the action restrict or impair public traffic. The individual movements that make up the car-choreography (changing lanes, stopping, etc) proceed in compliance with German traffic regulations.

If you interested in taking part in this extraordinary experiment and have a car at hand, please drop us a line at: yokomono@clubtransmediale.de
