rolywholyover opens up and discovers new fields of listening. environmental sounds turn into "objets trouvés" and the whole realm of the spatial space is newly interpreted.

rolywholyover is a standalone hardware object that can record, store and playback audio signals. the application mainly entails four small sampling units and a microprocessor. a software code functions as the composition; it defines the "on" and "off" and the "when" and "how" a sound appears and disappears. built into a cd case, rolywholyover is an instrument whose composition always sounds different and that can be carried around in order to discover the acoustical environment where ever you are.

the one week workshop is divided into three different parts. all participants first build their own rolywholyover object. therefore, everybody will get all the necessary components and a soldering board. in the second part, individual compositions are written and stored directly on the object itself. the final event will be a performance that is open to the public.

no special skills are required for this workshop. there is no need to either be a programmer or a hardware modification nerd. after a short introduction on how to solder all participants will be able to build their own object. the composition will be written in the easy to use excel-software and directly fed into the microprocessor afterwards.

the workshop will be taught by roland roos, currently "projectartist-in-residence" at tesla im podewils'schen palais and creator of the rolywholyover object.
