My WordPress theme hasn't been updated since 2019. The Instagram integration broke, PHP warnings followed. Switching themes would have meant giving up the design that fits me. So I looked for another way — and found one.
Kassandra, daughter of Priam and a seer, looks back on her life after the fall of Troy — in the face of her own death. In Bielefeld, Christa Wolf’s novel became an interdisciplinary music theatre work between drama and orchestra — conceived as a collaborative compositional process.
Originality is one of those words that feels self-evident until you try to define it. A trace through Romanticism, copyright, and music, and an explanation of why CORPUS still uses the term despite all its frictions.
What’s a sound designer doing in Mozart? In Don Giovanni at Aix, the collaboration with Sir Simon Rattle and Robert Icke led to an unusual rehearsal process — and one clear insight: an idea is not enough. You have to carry it through all resistance.
How CORPUS grew out of a vision of music you can walk into, the training-data problem of music AI, and a detour through incentive systems.
With the Sonic Presence SP15 microphone, high-quality sound recordings can be made without effort: you always have the microphone with you, you don't need a tripod, your smartphone serves as a recorder. It captures the sound impression at the position of the listener in a credible way. A review.
