Subject: Jacob Kirkegaard performance in Riga this weekend!
Hi friends & colleagues in Riga
As part of the museums night this weekend I am presenting my new
sound piece LABYRINTHITIS at the Paul Stradin Medical Museum on
Saturday and Sunday.
LABYRINTHITIS is made from sounds that have been entirely generated
inside my ears!
I am performing several times and the entrance is free.
Below you can find times and address + a description of LABYRINTHITIS.
I hope to see you there :)
Jacob

The museum's collection is something that is morbid yet curious at
the same time. Latvia's famous doctor Paul Stradins had been
collecting these unique materials for more than 30 years and then
donated them to the state. It is one of the largest museums of
medicine in the world. See the ancient cures and treatments used
during the plague epidemic.
ABOUT LABYRINTHITIS:
Jacob Kirkegaard has turned his ears inwards: His new work
LABYRINTHITIS is an interactive sound piece that consists entirely
of sounds generated in the artist's auditory organs - and will cause
audible responses in those of the audience.
LABYRINTHITIS relies on a principle employed both in medical science
and musical practice: When two frequencies at a certain ratio are
played into the ear, vibrations of the hair cells in the cochlea
will produce a third frequency. This tone is generated by the ear
itself: a so-called "distortion product otoacoustic emission"
(DPOAE), referred to in musicology as "Tartini tone".
By arranging these recordings in a composition and playing them to
an audience, the artist evokes further distortion effects in the
ears of his listeners. At first, each new Tartini tone can only be
perceived individually, inside the head of each member of the
audience. Kirkegaard picks it up, reproduces it and combines it with
another distorting frequency. Thus another Tartini tone is created.
Step by step, a pattern of descending tones emerges -
"intersubjectively" in the audience's ears, "objectively" in the
auditorium space. The spiral form of this tonal structure mirrors
the composition of resonant spectra in the human cochlea.
