about

For the opening of steirischer herbst, Staalplaat Soundsystem used the The Helmut-List-Halle not as a flawless shell for music but rather play the hall itself as an instrument in a duet with the noises that surround it and that are usually locked out.
Staalplaat Soundsystem has been creating sound installations that are often of gigantic dimensions: converted household appliances and other items of practical use, washing machines, floor polishers, vacuum cleaners, kitchen blenders and fans. Staalplaat Soundsystem transforms them into unusual sound generators that perform together as a vast mechanical orchestra, a racing car, a helicopter, a train and lots of boomcars
When the international artist formation within the series of Architone not only plays in but with the Helmut-List-Halle, coaxing sound out of it, the audience is an accomplice and living part of the music that emerges around and with it a music that gives the Helmut-List-Halle its greatest performance, at the same time critically questioning the form and function of the concert hall institution.
