Daniel Wolf, composer, musicologist and former student of Alvin Lucier once called an article: Alvin Lucier: A composer in the gallery. In this article Wolf emphasized the importance of space for the works of Alvin Lucier and why many pieces are realized in art spaces rather than concert halls. The propagation, overlapping and interference of sound waves in space are one central part of Lucier's works and therefor the acoustics of the architectural space becomes an intrinsic part of the work. The distribution of sounds in space not only leads to unexpected sound effects but is also a challenge for the performers to deal with. In the workshop / seminar examples will be given, problems in realizing works will be outlined and accompanied by the demonstration of various acoustical effects.
