Lydverkeri

September 14, 2012

As part of BEK duties I have recently developed a custom software and server solution for Lydverkeri (Soundworks) by Ole Hamre.

For the opening of Stavanger Konserthus, Ole Hamre has been commisioned to compose a new work that will be performed outdoor. Soloists are Arve Henriksen (trumpet), Jan Heinke (vocals) and Ståle Storløkken (keyboards). Additionally the city soundscape gets integrated into the music as the musicians are able to play the horns of the veteran boats on the harbor.

When Ole Hamre plays keyboard, custom developed software transmits messages to a server at BEK. At the server the received messages dynamically update a number of web pages. The veteran boats are connected to internet, and monitor these web pages in order to receieve instructions on when to blow the horns.

Lydverkeri can be experienced tonight at 19:00 in Stavanger.
