The Musical Marble Run is an improvisation machine. Marbles, spheres, balls keep rolling down its slanted surface and hitting metal objects. Most marble runs have a perfect run, but with the Musical Marble Run that's not so important. It's not about control, it's about playing and having fun. The paths of the marbles cannot be predicted, mistakes don't exist. Marble music is subject to chance and always different.
A transportable marble run premiered in November 2024 in the St Ruprecht Church in Vienna. It has been built by Ben Day with funding from the City of Vienna and the support of WienModern festival. The dimensions are 120 cm by 9 m; a curved version was produced for the Klangturm St Pölten.

Tinnitus Scenes
miniature installations of tinnitus sounds with quotes from affected persons

Tinnitus is an auditory experience that occurs in the brain or inner ear and can be triggered by stress or noise. Tinnitus sounds are various and occur across the entire audible frequency spectrum. The installation is an offer to anyone who never had tinnitus to get to know these fascinating inner worlds, and for those suffering from tinnitus it is an opportunity to listen to other people's tinnitus, to exchange ideas and to console themselves that many others are not doing any better.
The Tinnitus Scenes are part of the project The Big Noise.

Ambience
Ambient noises from streets and construction areas are the basic material for the soundtrack to the performance/installation ferragosto II (2007).

For große kreise 08 (2008), street noises are transferred directly to the concert hall. The public is twice involved in the performance: inside as audience, outside as actors.
große kreise 08 is part of the project draußen und drinnen.










Diana at Her Bath
in collaboration with Jack Hauser

Live video, Super8 installation, performance
Galerie Artothek, Vienna (2001)

“Certainly the invisible Diana, while she looks at Aktaion envisioning her, thinks on her own body.” Pierre Klossowski
