[ About Re:Sound Bottle -second mix- ]
Experimental sound medium that transforms recorded everyday sounds into music
[ Concept ]
• Allows anyone to create music using sounds from daily life
• Communication that arises from intuitive sound interaction
The conventional way of experiencing music is usually through existing technologies such as the ipod or the radio. However, this style of experiencing music takes place in a given form; is static and as a result leaves us dissatisfied.
To really enjoy music, we need to find music through sounds around us. We need to stop being tied down with new gadgets that provide the music for us, but to search for music ourselves.
A series of ideas like these lead me to create this device.
This creation's main concept is to record sounds from daily life. It is the concept of ‘collecting sounds in a bottle’. You choose the sounds collected in the bottle. Using everyday sounds as a musical component establishes a new understanding of the sounds we listen to everyday. By collecting your own sampling of sounds, you encounter a unique piece of music that can be experienced only once.
This device will bring a smile to anyone, as many will be able to experience the charm of music, leading them to turn music into something they love and adore.

Using simple and functional components, Zimoun builds architecturally-minded platforms of sound. Exploring mechanical rhythm and flow in prepared systems, his installations incorporate commonplace industrial objects. In an obsessive display of simple and functional materials, these works articulate a tension between the orderly patterns of Modernism and the chaotic forces of life. Carrying an emotional depth, the acoustic hum of natural phenomena in Zimoun's minimalist constructions effortlessly reverberates.
A floating orb that explores and manipulates transitional public spaces with particular acoustic properties. By recording and replaying these ambient sounds, the hovering sphere produces a delayed echo of human activity.
Electronics were programmed and inserted into the sphere in order to record and replay the surrounding sounds. Find out more: bit.ly/1cjvquk

"touched echo" is a minimal medial intervention in public space. The visitors of the Bruhl's Terrace (Dresden, Germany) are taken back in time to the night of the terrible air raid on 13th February 1945. In their role as a performer they put themselve
