The Scream of Music

Daniel Fischer

“The Scream of Music” is an innovative audio installation in a public space that reinterprets national identity, communication and borders. An iconic image from “The Sound of Music”, associated with Austria, is transformed into yodeling music and transmitted across the Danube in Linz using an LRAD (long range acoustic device) loudspeaker. The yodeling is decoded back into visual infor-mation, transferred onto postcards via AI audio pattern recognition and assembled to reveal the complete picture.
