The NOISE ROOM CD documents the NOISE ROOM,
an autonomous surround sound space built for pre-
recorded musical works and sonic experiments.

Each musical work which is performed in the NOISE
ROOM has been selected, edited and arranged for a
listening situation in which the listeners can dedicate
themselves to a maximum listening experience.
The pieces presented in the NOISE ROOM refer
specifically to the concept of a so-called 'speaker'
concert in contrast to a so-called 'live' concert.

Each composition is played back through a multi-
channel 5.1 speaker setup that is configured according
to the spatial acoustics of the NOISE ROOM.

The CD version offers a selection of shortened stereo
edits. NOISE ROOM 1 was built and set up at STEIM,
Center for research & development of instruments &
tools for performers in the electronic performance arts
in Amsterdam in 2005, Version 2 was located at the
Melkweg concert space in Amsterdam in 2006.
Version 3 will be installed in the Cubitt Gallery in London
in september 2008. The NOISE ROOM was initiated
and designed by Jan St. Werner, former artistic director
of STEIM and member of Mouse on Mars.

"Going to a tape music concert characterized by a lack
of performance can be a valuable experience in itself: a
situation where one is presented with a high fidelity
sound installation in which one can finally hear the subtle
details of the music.
It is this situation that defines the need for the Noise Room.
At the same time, it builds upon in the history of acousmatic
music--a history of using space for sound compositionsù
while referring to the transgression of boundaries and the
utopian inspiration of the avant-garde."
