Robert Schwarz
"SWY"
From Stridulations 01–14
Robert Schwarz is a sound artist from Vienna with a background in computer music, sound studies and architecture. His current work explores the acoustic dimensions of insects, focusing in particular on spatio-temporal patterns resulting from the coupling of swarm behaviour and time synchronisation. In his compositions, synthetic sounds interact with audio recordings of insects. By obscuring the distinction between synthesis and field recording, Schwarz looks to create profound and dissociative states of listening.
