KunradKleine Geluiden

Over the past six years, I have created installations and performances that celebrate the small, often overlooked sounds embedded in our daily lives, placing them on a pedestal. From machines that transform rain and paper into the first Physical Audio Workstation, to contraptions that send 1,000 small brass tubes ringing and tumbling through the air. Performances where stones are thrown into water with intent, or a human-powered carillon, spanning 50 meter long ropes, harnesses, and rubber hammers striking a bridge at the heart of a city.

Driven by my passion for field recording, I captured these fleeting, temporal moments using an ever-changing array of microphone setups. Now, I am delighted to present these recordings, extracted from their original artworks and curated into a new, standalone listening experience.

I hope this album will act like a book, inviting you to imagine the contraptions, the spaces, and invent new stories behind the sounds. In this way, it becomes a canvas for your imagination, a place where new worlds emerge so that kleine geluiden, small sounds, find new ways to enrich our daily lives.
