“Klangkapsel / Sound Capsule” deals with the issue of how the auditory perception could be integrated with other perceptions, such as visual and tactile perception. In order to create a platform for a multisensory listening condition, I developed a “sound capsule” with integrated loudspeaker and transducers. In listening to a sound collage, which is based on a physical-action-related eight-channel field recording, the recipient experiences a very intimate soundscape in the capsule. When you lie down in the capsule, you are physically covered and in a relaxed position. Because of the sound material and the total setting of the experience in the capsule, you might also feel as if your body were “inside” of someone else’s.
