KUBISCH, CHRISTINA - On Air

A spectacular all-transparent Audio/multimedia CD (a reprint of the 1984 cassette-only private release). A final and comprehensive document on the series of installations named On Air or Magnetic Air which C. Kubisch exhibited in Italy and Europe from 1982 to 1986. The relationship between specific locations and electronic music was explored through the use of magnetic induction cables and special earphones. Twenty years later, On Air has remained a fascinating listening experience, and represents a unique illustration of the artistic integration of sound and vision. The interactive section provides a virtual journey through the spectacular 1984 installation created for the medieval town of Gargonza in Tuscany, complete with 1 hour of music and a 15-minute video plus photos, a bio, info and scores.
