about

The Sigmundstor in Salzburg, Austria, better known locally as the Neutor, links the narrow streets of the Altstadt with the more open regions beyond.
The words Te saxa loquuntur (The stones speak to thee) above its eastern gateway commemorate its architect Sigismund Count Schrattenbach. The title of Marco Doettlinger’s multi-channel sound installation makes reference to this inscription but broadens it.
Instead of focusing on a single ruler, it addresses the people of the city and the acoustic footprints they leave behind from their daily paths and occupations.
Field-Recordings that have been made in a variety of locations close to the Neutor at different times of day or night, provide its basic material.
This is enhanced with composed instrumental passages so that audiences and passers-by using the tunnel experience a form of acoustic compression that is related to this unique place of passage and expresses its ambience.
This condensed urban sonic event works as a stimulus and enables the tunnel to resonate within its own spatial frequencies.
