No. 14: oscillation series - sonic theories and practices #14 -  
Seismology and Sound

Florian Dombois (Art): Luginsland

Volker Straebel (Theory): Listening to earthquakes. A short history

Volker Straebel (Art): Sound observations

Florian Dombois (Theory): Why Art as Research?

Florian Dombois and Volker Straebel both address in their theoretical  
writing and artistic work the gain of knowledge by means of aesthetic  
practices. In this double discourse, Dombois will describe his sound  
and installation pieces that refer to seismological data while  
Straebel discusses how the sound of earthquakes was researched before  
the introduction of magnetic recording into this field by Hugo Benioff  
in 1952. Afterwards, Straebel will present his Sound Observation  
Series while Dombois addresses the notion of artistic research in  
music and sound art.
