Walkie Talkie Dream Angles is an electroacoustic composition and interactive sound walk for Washington Square Park by Dafna Naphtali — traversing sonically interesting corners of the park to underscore the loss of quiet, past and future sounds, bringing a favorite urban environment to life, in a sonically unique and individual way. Processed pre-recorded environmental sounds are layered with voice, and some thoughtful strategizing about site-specific listening, interactivity and attention span.

LAUNCHED 2016, available 24/7 (or whenever the park is open) indefinitely!
UPDATE: June 2026 Echoes.xyz version found here: https://explore.echoes.xyz/collections/Tv0yEOJqrmD4qT4r

Walkie Talkie Dream Angles was originally created for U-GRUVE AR, a mobile device app and Audio Augmented Reality platform created by creative technologist Richard Rodkin of Memetic Arts, which enables the creation of interactive soundtracks for public spaces using listener/participants phones and GPS sensors to trigger geo-tagged musical outcomes to predefined zones in the targeted environment.

In 2026, the piece is being recreated/adapted for Echoes.xyz platform.

  • Notes:
    Peter Geisselbrecht, born 1954, studied music in Cologne (piano, composition, improvisation) under Klaus Oldemeyer, Joachim Blume, Vinko Globokar and Klaus Runze. He specializes in 20th century piano music, and frequently tours with a program of compositions by victims and contemporaries of the Nazi regime. As an improviser he works primarily with musicians who are equally versed in free improvisation, jazz and contemporary classical music. Since 1985 he teaches piano and improvisation at Giessen University, Germany.

    In a rare appearance at The Firehouse Space in NYC, German Pianist Peter Geisselbrecht will present songs by Brecht / Eisler expressing solitude, grieving and longing of the refugee – sung by Dafna Naphtali and Gisburg. A selection from Geisselbrecht’s CD with works by composer Federico Mompoú refer to a poem by Juan de la Cruz in which the poet describes a music that is the voice of the silence itself, while the solitude itself becomes music.

    Longing is also the theme of traditional Persian singing presented by composer Saman Samadi, in a poem about homesickness by Mahmoud Davoudi.

    The second part of the evening will see a collective improvisation by the participants, including Loui Terrier and Hans Tammen.

Audio Chandelier: multi-channel sound performance (Dafna Naphtali) in New York on Mon, Jun 13, 2016

  By ,

 

AUDIO CHANDELIER  -individual grains of nearly static sound dispersed to various speakers throughout the gallery and altered as granular synthesis illuminates and refracts moments in time.  Each of this set of pieces use field recordings and audio samples processed as one “grain” is sent to each speaker available.   By manipulating the grains of sound  (which remain static in each speaker)  a surprising array of sounds and environments are created — from shimmering motion to reverberant spaces, to low crashing waves, to hyper-electronics refraction of sound.    The pieces have been presented as multi-channel fixed media, an interactive performance piece, and as a laptop orchestra piece (with an upcoming version for smartphones)

Live 8-channel performance at NYC Electroacoustic Music Festival 2016

    Bitches Re-Brewed at the OutToSee Festival 2016

    THIRD EYE ELECTRIC BAND plays the music of Miles Davis / Fourth Brew
    Unsettling, frantic and anti-sentimental, Hans Tammen’s THIRD EYE ELECTRIC BAND – for whom machine oil is mother’s milk – fuse relentless polyrhythmic machinations with ethereal yet roughly sewn soundscapes, revisiting Miles Davis’ music from his Bitches Brew period. Dark, sometimes brooding ensemble passages mix and mingle with tightly woven drum-loops, and extended solo cadenzas build up to a mighty hymn to machine work, music of a metallic nightmare.
