Pendel
Pendel is an attempt to create a long lasting movement that triggers a sound. A fan ensures a continues movement of the pendulum, every cycle an extra push. At the same time he blows into a microphone, every cycle a wind sound. A system with his own rules.
Pendel is one of the characters from a series of cyclically moving sound objects for the performances Hangaar (2010), Utopia (2012) and Ruis! (2015), with motorized circular movements and pendulum movements. Each character is part of a visual sound composition with its own rhythm, its own breathing, its own heartbeat. Shown autonomously, they take a place in the environmental sound. The auditory and visual experience usually do not coincide. Light creates dancing shadows.
In 2022 Pendel has been restored to be shown as autonomous installation.
