From 8 until 15 November 2014 Eindhoven will once again be completely immersed in the light art festival GLOW.
The theme of the ninth edition is ‘City in Motion’. The work of around fifty artists in the form of light installations, sculptures, projections and performances provide the public with a surprising new angle on the city. GLOW is free to everyone and last year it attracted no fewer than 520,000 visitors.

Swiss sound sculptures artist Zimoun will be present at the upcoming 2014 edition of the Dutch Design Week (DDW). The DDW is a yearly event dedicated to what was once called “industrial design“, but now extends simply to “design“. It is held from October, 18 to 26 in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
The sound sculptures and installations of Zimoun are characterized by these quotes:
«Using simple and functional components, Zimoun builds architecturally-minded platforms of sound. Exploring mechanical rhythm and flow in prepared systems, his installations incorporate commonplace industrial objects.» bitforms nyc
«The sound sculptures and installations of Zimoun are graceful, mechanized works of playful poetry, their simplicity opens like an industrial bloom to reveal a complex and intricate series of relationships, an ongoing interplay between the «artificial» and the «organic». Zimoun creates sound pieces from basic components, often using multiples of the same prepared mechanical elements to examine the creation and degeneration of patterns.» Tim Beck
Exhibitions and events are spread all over the city of Eindhoven during the DDW. The STRP Scene #2 installation of Zimoun can be viewed at the Klokgebouw on the Strijp-S facility.

Reblogged from Binary Heap:
“Our ambition, with this Guide to Sound Objects, has always been to give researchers, musicians, music-lovers and all who are directly or indirectly interested in the sound-universe an unbiased, clear and dependable tool (if this can be done) for a better knowledge and understanding of Pierre Schaeffer’s considerable contribution to this field, by means of an inventory of the ideas and concepts developed in his most important work, the Traité des Objets Musicaux.”
