Thermokoppel

Thermokoppel is a live sound-performance based on the relation between temperature and the acoustic properties of metal. Instead of approaching musical instruments in a classical way, Dewi and Rachida work the material for its physical properties. The heating up and cooling down of the elements will cause the metal to expand. This phenomenon will be used to create sound.

After Elektrolab, developed in the context of Rachida Ziani‘s graduation at the ArtScience department in 2009, this project is their second collaboration project which explores natural and physical phenomena to create soundperformances and installations.
