Zwei Löcher im moosüberwachsenen Felsen der Klangskulptur Felsentöne

Felsentöne

2004, Klassik-Edition, Ferdinand Rauber (CH)

Seven holes were cut into the rock, which are tuned pentatonically. This means that if you drum on them with the palm of your hand, you can play a scale of five different tones.

The two larger and deeper holes are played according to the principle of a didgeridoo. The traditional instrument of the indigenous people of northern Australia, the Aborigines, is a wind instrument rich in overtones. To play it, air must be blown or pressed into it with the mouth.

About the artist

Music is created in the here and now and can unite all peoples of the world. Rauber has taken this to heart and learnt music and instruments from many cultures around the world. Ferdinand Rauber does not copy foreign cultural assets, instead he uses his accumulated skills in his natural sound music, in improvisation and in the now. Rhythm and sound as well as creativity are infinite, there is always something new to discover.
