Erwin Stache

Erwin Stache, born in 1960, is a German composer and sound artist who has experience in producing sound installations. He has a love for technology and music, being taught music at an early age while growing up to specialize in mathematics and physics. He has worked as a musician and composer for most of his life, producing works for concerts and various bands while also delving into the film industry, composing soundtracks. He also has a love for visual arts which, combined with his love for experimentation, had probably gave him the drive to create his installations.

87,3 Kilo Ohm
873, Kilo Ohm presents itself in the form of large steel pillars mounted on large wooden platforms, or stations, that contain electronic software. It exhibited in the Ultima Festival, from the 8th to the 18th of September 2010. The stations were placed randomly around the roof and entrance of The Norwegian Opera and Ballet. Music is made when the rods are touched. The amount of pressure applied and how much contact is given affects the sound that it produces. It is designed in a way that a minimum of 2 people would be needed for it to properly function. The installation is open to the public, encouraging the audience to interact with it, and it each other through social interaction.
