Within the course of various testing series and experiments [dy’na:mo] has developed a new hardware – DTM. DTM is a process-oriented hardware, which, in its current phase, is able to control 17 speakers. Sounds and tunes can thus be sent through space in various architectures. The analog technology applied by DTM facilitates work in real time, i.e. sounds and sound architecture can immediately be altered. Such changes could be a spontaneous change of direction regarding the movement of music, changing the order of controlled speakers, regulating speed with which you can switch from one speaker to the next, as well as determining fading tracks (attack and decay modes). Real time interventions can produce a permanently changing, rhythmic structure, which, independent from the original composition, leads to new sound patterns. Through intensive contacts with the Viennese electronic scene, DTM has been used at various events as the basic element of sound installations and performances. Here, the spreading, altering and rhythmical positioning of the musical contributions was programmed by [ dy’na:mo ]. We are currently working with three DTM processor consoles facilitating the parallel appearance of three musicians in real time.
