About this title

Synopsis

The internationally acclaimed team of architect Boa Baumann and musician/ cross-media artist Fritz Hauser has worked together for two decades exploring the tension and interaction between music and architecture. This monograph vividly recounts the story of their collaboration and the thrilling environmental installations that result. Active in the areas of improvised music, radio play, film music, theatre and sound installation, Hauser is a percussionist who is one of Switzerland's most diverse musicians. He and Baumann have created spaces and performed in New York, Melbourne and throughout the world. Author Hubertus Adam interviews Baumann, Hauser and others, and fashions a narrative text enhanced by large-format images by artists Andreas Fahrni, Christian Lichtenberg and Isabel Burgin.
