In this multichannel live performance, the artist combines real-time audio synthesis with digital and analog physical modeling techniques.

By utilizing feedback networks, Lanzmaier explores textures and structures of sound, creating immersive sonic environments that engage with the physicality of space through multichannel speaker setups.  

The performance experiments with the perception of natural and artificial sounds, crafting fluid and ambiguous soundscapes that challenge the listeners sense of place. It invites audiences to experience sound as a multidimensional, spatial phenomenon.
