"floating islands" sound-light-installation
staalplaat soundsystem = geert-jan hobijn (nl) + carsten stabenow (d)
& erwin stache (d)


floating islands is a mechanical floating orchestra - a sound and light
installation located on the river spree in front of the new dutch
embassy berlin.
the orchestra will consist of fifty small 'islands' that will float,
sound, and dream.
a 60 by 15 metre formation will be fixed in the free water space in
front of the m�hlendamm-schleuse opposite the embassy building.
the base bodies of the 'islands' will be constructed from self-swiming
red hard plastic buoys. self-build flutes made from transparent plastic
bottles are fixed on top of the buoys.
a battery of 50 vacuum cleaners is connected with the 'floating islands'

via a hose system.
hanging in a big framework on the sluice island in the middle of the
water the battery of vacuum cleaners breathes life into the flutes like
a huge lung.
since the vacuum cleaners will hang in the framework they will swing
when triggered, thus making the installation more transparent and
pulsating.
each island will have an additional light element build into the bottles

that will, at night, instead of playing the flute only visually
interpret the composition.
a specific composition is created for a permanent all week sound
programme. the orchestra will be controlled from the sluice island.
the steering unit consists of a controller running a composition and a
midi-to-volt-translator triggering a solid-state relays system.

staalplaat soundsystem (nl/d)
staalplaat soundsystem is an eclectic mix of techno culture and sound
art installation.
the initiator of staalplaat sound-system geert-jan hobijn is the founder

of the staalplaat music label and he has been the organizer of many
sound art and performance events. carsten stabenow has his
background as founder and organizer of the garage festival stralsund
since 1997.
together, geert-jan hobijn and carsten stabenow realized different sound

installation projects in the past 3 years. staalplaat soundsystem has
become a tool for unusual musical experiments navigating in the depths
of good taste and the small islands of cultural philistines and for
sailing around the mainstream.
every event is tailored to fit its environment. give the staalplaat
soundsystem an interesting or challenging space to work with and the
space gets transformed into an immersive environment with many of the
characteristics of the world of experimental music and performance in
which staalplaat has always been one of the vectors. (j.bosma)
within the current mood of worshipping the latest technology in media
art, staalplaat soundsystem provides a breath of fresh air, reminding
us of the 100-year tradition of noise-making machines and junk art,
in which "mad" inventors and various kinds of artists operating in
the margins of the art.
