3. Was der Wind zum Klingen bringt (1989-90)

Precisely when I first encountered the work of Peter Bosch and Simone Simons is difficult to remember, I do remember though that it was second-hand through a photograph and that I had only my eyes to go on. The work in question was the installation Was der Wind zum klingen bringt and it caught my attention immediately. My excitement at that time was in part due to the unusual mix of music and technology but it was the visual impact, the power of the installation which especially impressed me. Sometimes you don’t need sound to feel an involvement. What was strange -and perhaps unfortunate- was that from the photograph it was completely impossible to obtain even a hint of the unheard of cacophony the installation produced. Unheard of in both the literal and the metaphorical sense. Was der Wind zum klingen bringt offered a completely new listening experience alongside the physical one. At the end of the 80’s that was something very special.
