For over three decades now, the American artist Maryanne Amacher has been composing works that try to get to the bottom on a structural level of the complex relationship between music and space. Her sound installation Gravity for the singuhr-sound gallery in parochial is part of her "Music for Sound Joined Rooms Series" - a series of works in which Amacher realizes architeture-based, acoustic choreographies. The installation is built from "structure borne" sound (sound propagatec through walls, floors, rooms, corridors) as distinguished by acousticians from the "airborne sound" of conventional loudspeaker projection. Composing the sonic imaging to occur between the different spatial levels in the tower, Amacher stages the spaces themselves as elements of a resonant theatre which visitors can follow physically as well as acoustically.

The sound installation is produced in the form of a „Sound Screening“ to be experienced in time as you would when viewing a film screening. The duration is 90 minutes. And begins in the Turmsaal.

Doris Kuwert, who lives in Berlin, presents Mikrokosmos, two compositions consisting of movement and sound in space. Translucent tubular spheres that are arranged on nylon strings will be moved by deflecting magnets. This resonance will spin little iron bullets in their inside. The light, metallic sounds that developes from them will be projected into the room. Cups of water that containig fish tank pumps that are producing bubbles, playing an electronical controlled concert.

The ambivalent relationship between interior and exterior, brightness and darkness, chance and composition marks the installations "Atem" und "Innerest" of Miki Yui, a japanese artist living in Düsseldorf. In "Atem" (nave) a swelling room-inside-the-room is created by half-transparent paper webs, where noise from the outside merges with minimalistic sounds from within. In "Innerest" (bell tower) Miki Yui puts on a shaded place, where foils form an abstract landscape, interweaving exterior sounds and composition.

In the center of the installation "in die länge gezogener Geistesblitz" of Berlin artist Stefan Rummel stands the bell tower vault as space per se. The installation works with sounds, wiretapping the room. Sounds recorded there are manipulated electronically and played back into the room via speakers in extremely slow motion. Long silicon laces transform the acoustic vibrations into visual movements in space.
