A special guest will be Daniel Weiss a German sound artist and physicist from Berlin. He will be doing a sonic drawing with Mick O’Shea and also performing on the Luxophon a self made instrument. The Luxophon was created by Daniel Weiss in 2001 based on the solar sound modules by Ralf Schreiber. It’s an instrument that uses small solar panels and analogue circuit to generate various sound pattern which depends on the amount of light that reaches the surface of the solar panels.
A highlight of this years event will be the inclusion of the Yo-Yo Club a new and innovative film and video collective whose works will feature as installations around the cathedral.
