APPARATUM

THE INSTALLATION INSPIRED BY THE POLISH RADIO EXPERIMENTAL STUDIO



Analog sound generators, based on magnetic tape and optical components controlled via graphic score composed with digital interface.



The APPARATUM has been inspired

by the heritage of the Polish Radio

Experimental Studio - one of the first

studios in the world producing

electroacoustic music.



The installation draws inspirations

musically and graphically from the

"Symphony - electronic music" -

composed by Bogusław Schaeffer



Bogusław Schaeffer conceived his own

visual language of symbols that conveyed

the cues for the sound engineer responsible for

the production of the piece.



The physical form is inspired by the general

aesthetics of the Studio's famous "Black Room"

designed by Oskar Hansen. The electroacoustic

generators and filters were arranged in a modular

fashion inside two steel frames - the construction

element that we've referred to in our design.



Magnetic tape was the primary medium

used in the Polish Radio Experimental Studio.

We're also using two types of “tape samplers”

- two 2-track loops and three one-shot linear

tape samplers. To obtain noise and basic tones

we’re utilising purely analog optical generators

based on spinning discs with graphical patterns.
