2019 audio/video noise performance Following the no-input approach, Stefan Tiefengraber is generating sound and video using only the inherent noise from two devices, a digital video mixer and a digital audio mixer. By connecting each mixer’s outputs directly to its own inputs, as well as transforming the video signals to audio signals, and the other way around, these two, formerly widespread but now outdated devices, are brought back to life. The feedback loops enable the artist to use the built-in effects, equalizer and video transitions to force and push the mixers far beyond their usual operating conditions. Thereby new and unexpected results are achieved - a continuous blast of pure noise and flickering images. A broad spectrum of frequencies, combined with the video image, is distributed into the concert space, with a strong affect on the bodies of the audience to create an immersive experience.

P.A. System: A high-quality PA-system that is sufficiently dimensioned for the venue is absolutely essential. To guarantee a full body experience for the audience - sufficient sub woofers! Audio Monitors: 2 stage monitors – stereo signal, left and right from performer (fullrange with min. 15’’ woofer ) Video System: min. 1 video projector, minimum resolution: 1280x1024 pixels, luminosity : 15000 lumens (minimum) or LED video-wall Projection/screen size: The white projection surface should stretch over the entire stage background or the LED wall should fill the stage background. Light: it should be possible to make the space totally dark, no sunlight or artificial light or any light effects. Audio Outputs: 1 stereo output (main out) = 2 x XLR (socket) 1/4 (6.35 mm) Video Output: Composite Video (CVBS) with BNC connector - cable from the stage (position of performer) Table/Pedestal: 1 stable table or stage pedestal, height 95cm and min. width 120cm, min. depth 80cm Installing and Soundcheck: - installing time: 1 hour (can be off-stage) - soundcheck: 1 hour transport weight: 50 kg
