  • In 2022 Patrick K.-H. founded together with Petra Leisentritt the association Floating Sound Gallery Vienna as a successor project of Floating Sound Gallery St. Petersburg, which originally had its starting point in Moscow in 2008. Since 2013, the Floating Sound Gallery St. Petersburg has been located in the New Media Lab of the Alexandrinsky Theater in St. Petersburg. In June 2016, the New Stage of the Alexandrinsky Theater in St. Petersburg hosted the several day festival "Dark Sounds in White Nights Festival", which was jointly organized by IMA - Institute of Media Archaeology, Kunstradio and the New Media Lab of the Alexandrinsky Theater. The Acousmonium festival was also held three times with numerous renowned international representatives from the world of acousmatic music.


    Postards

    series of electroacoustic collages, since 2021,
    realised with the support of Stadt Wien Kultur.
    Graphic art takes time to be made but it has no time dimension when it's done - the created image never changes itself, the only time duration it may have is the time that the viewer spends watching it.
    Music, but on the contrary, exists in time, and it has a duration fixed by the author, that is supposed to be equal to the time that the listener spends experiencing the work.
    Postards is a series of music pieces where I work on music as if I would work on graphic art, considering this major difference of the role of time.

    Mutanys series
    Mutanys: movement 4, 2021, 09'52"

  • realised with the support of Stadt Wien Kultur

  • As the title suggests, the given music series is largely about mutations–to confirm this intention, mutation starts with the very orthography of the title. A pivotal period of music history and theory was the beginning and middle of the XX century with its burst of music evolution theories, followed by biology-like mutation theories. Alike Darwin, people before used to think that every music entity–be it genre or instrument–could be defined by a set of necessary traits that characterised its essence—that there was a precise definition for orchestra, opera, guitar, vocal, score, etc. (and of course there are “creationists” in music in now days). According to this “music creationism” paradigm, a guitar has a guitar essence – as well as music forms it would constitute – and can no more evolve into a squeak or murmur than a dinosaur can evolve into a bird.

    One of the conceptual breakthroughs that comes out of sound synthesis married to sound recording was the appearance of intermediate forms that are literally neither guitar nor murmur. Moreover, the mutants of that kind can vary in their qualities, and the variety of that qualities can suggest search of new music forms, stranger than ever existed.



    FWER, 2022, 20'25"

    realised with the support of SKE & AKM/austro mechana fwer (from fear, fever) departs from Patrick K.-H. cycle of William S. Burroughs works (along with “Most Natural Pain” 2016 soundcloud, and several live acts). “Fear of death is form of stasis horrors. The dead weight of time.” Words mutate and evolve untill their original literary meanings get lost, and what remains, tries to live on as music.
