Music for Spaces, Giannozzo VI and VII
(Section from Giannozzo VI)
(Section from Giannozzo VI)
Giannozzo VI und VII were composed for both spaces of Gallery Giannozzo.
The pitches of the used sounds were exclusively determined by the
measures of the spaces.
The measures of the lengths and widths as well as the heights of the
spaces are equal to the wave lengths of the sounds and therefor
determine the frequences of the music. Likewise these measures yield the
numbers for the frequences of the particular sounds. The sounds of the
main measures (length, width, height) appear once per decimeter. In
respect to the sounds of the secondary measures the clearness of their
outline in the space decides about the frequency of their sounding.
The time units of the basic measures are 1/2 sec upstairs, 1 sec
downstairs; the durations of one circulation are 6 min upstairs, 12 min
downstairs. (for instance in the space upstairs: length=720 cm
corresponds to a frequency of 47,6 Hz; the tone appears in that time of
6 minutes 72 times.)
VI und VII in the title mean the intervals sixth and seventh, i.e. the
pitches of the length and the width of both spaces have a ratio of a
major sixth (upstairs) bzw. of a major seventh (downstairs).
The music was published in 1985 (copyright) as an audio cassette in
Edition Giannozzo Berlin.
