After a successful first Immersive Sounds edition 2023 ZIMMT will take over the special technical conception, installation and equipment of the innovative multi-channel audio system at this event. ZIMMT (Centre for Immersive Media Art, Music and Technology) was founded in Leipzig in 2020 by Felix Deufel, Jakob Gruhl, Martin Recker and Paul Hauptmeier, among others.
The program will open on the OST side stage with the installation ‘Water and Ice’, a multichannel 3D composition by Felix Deufel and Anna Schimkat.
Martin Recker and Paul Hauptmeier, who have been working together as an artist duo under the name ‘Hauptmeier | Recker’ since 2009, will open ZIMMT’s spatial audio setting in the Great Hall of the Festspielhaus Hellerau with a live set. The Paris-based artist and spatial audio expert Amélie Nilles will also be performing a live set. Amélie Nilles’ music reflects a vital need to create her own space, her own sonic environment through which she escapes. With organic textures and field recordings, she searches for the nature that eludes her in the megacities. The voice is central, intimate, sometimes whispered, often transformed, and rarely shouted because she feels constricted. Each piece is an imaginary world in which the artist feels free.
