Klang und Krach: Kann man Artenvielfalt hören?

In the organizer's words:

Can we hear biodiversity? What does the music of prehistoric times sound like? And why does music touch our hearts and bring us together? The science magazine Science Notes deals with these and other topics. It explores sounds from birdsong to noise and music and how they are perceived in different contexts. In five short contributions, writers, artists, musicians and scientists tell stories of their wonderful and astonishing sonic explorations at the interface of science and society.

Moritz Simon Geist is a musician and artist with the live performance Mad Science. Jörg Piringer merges the digital and analog worlds in his poetry. Friederike Potengowski undertakes a sound journey with prehistoric wind instruments. Nelly Ritz reconstructs the sounds of grasshoppers from over 100 million years ago. Andrea Heilrath illuminates the world of standing waves and Chladnian sound figures. Sandra Teschow visualizes sound and noise. She is art director of the magazine Science Notes.
