Simon Berz improvised with found slate stones during morning rituals in the Swiss Alps during the pandemic. The recording NATURE documents the search for the infinite variety of sounds of these million-year-old stones.
The Sound of the Stones
In 2009, I found thin, ringing slate slabs in Haute-Provence in the south of France. This discovery led me to a new path in my work with found objects. The raw sound of the stones, combined with water droplets or electronics, has accompanied me ever since. The sound installation TROPF was awarded the 2011 work year of the Canton of Zug. Last year, I was able to present the new variant of the installation at Kunstraum Aarau 2023. The collected recording TROPF was released by DUMPF Edition Zurich. With the instrument TECTONIC (basalt stones from Iceland and electronics, 2015), I toured and performed concerts between Cuba and Japan.
