Having rejected all dogma, Richter directed his longing for faith into his art. The photographs, not all taken by Richter himself, are mostly snapshots of daily life: family vacations, pictures of friends, mountains, buildings and streetscapes. The rigid screen prevents the formation of figurations, although these can be made visible if an effort is made. In many works, either Gabriel or Mary stands framed in the doorway as a way of separating the two figures and suggesting the incarnation as the crossing of a threshold. Perhaps because we know that the window was designed in part by a computer, there is a temptation to read it as the pixels of a digital image that is too large to be contained in the church or seen by human vision. The ability to believe is our most outstanding quality, and only art adequately translates it into reality. This book documents Gerhard Richter's abstract, stained-glass window for Germany's historic Cologne Cathedral. Texte zu Farben is the German translation of the Gerhard Richter.

Joseph H. He stopped working in print media in , and began painting from photographs he took himself. In works like Sea, Skull with Candle, Cathedral Corner, and Reader, I have found that Richter restores my access to a sacramental mystery which is present in every moment, but to which I am too often indifferent.

Large oil-on-canvas pieces, these show latticed rows of light- and dark-grey blobs whose shapes quasi-repeat as they race across the frame, their angle modulating from painting to painting. Several works suggest not only an openness to religious experience, but also a commitment to finding creative strategies of realizing those experiences in art. Plate 5.

I have investigated three key areas of extension: the physical structure of the Harp and its internal resonant spaces, mimicry as an exploratory tool useful in better understanding the Harp in relation to the Australian environment, and improvisation both free and structured used to challenge the vocabulary of the Harp in solo performance and collaborative contexts.

Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) is a new technique for sound spatialisation. It aims at a physical reconstruction of sound fields according to natural or artificial models by synthesizing the wave fronts of a defined virtual sound source with the superposition of wave fronts emitted by a closely spaced array of loudspeakers. Thus, the spatial configuration of those virtual sound sources does not depend on a certain listener position (sweet spot), as it is the case with traditional stereophonic techniques such as two channel stereo or surround. Moreover, while stereo setups allow the placement of sounds only on a line between the involved speakers and do not work well for lateral sources, WFS has no limitations concerning the placement of virtual sound sources outside and even inside of the reproduction array. The WFS hall in the main building of the TU Berlin is equipped with an array of 832 loudspeakes. The system can synthesize up to 42 virtual sound sources located inside or outside the room. Audio is fed into the system in realtime, where the sound of one audio channel represents the sound of one virtual source.

This, clarified and matured, will become the legitimate art of our era, the art of today.” Carlos Chavez, Toward a New Music: Music and Electricity (1937) Inventors and Inventions 1759 Jean-Baptiste Delabord invents Clavecine Électrique, a type of carillon – a keyboard activating hanging bells with static electricity. 1867 Matthias Hipp invents Electromechanical Piano, in which the keys activate electromagnets that activate Dynamos – small electric sound generators. 1897 Thaddeus Cahill invents Telharmonium (aka Dynamophone), a 200 ton, 60 foot long, $200k instrument that occupied an entire floor at 39th and Broadway for 20 years. 36 notes per octave (Cahill was a Just Intonation guy). There is no amplification yet, so the only way you could hear it was over a telephone line. “Cahill hit upon the idea of centrally performing music and serve it over the phone network to paying subscribers in hotels, railway stations and private houses; a kind of early Victorian audio internet.” (120years.net) Busoni mentions it in his Sketch for a New Esthetic of Music 1922 Leon Theremin invents his eponymous instrument.
