A gift für den Geist (1986) was made while in Berlin on a DAAD
fellowship. The work started with a simple blue plastic box with a
hinged lid that contained an ultrasonic feedback system inside. The box
was played in two ways - moving the lid, and by applying pressure on the
box and deforming the walls of the box, both producing trombone-like
tones. A recording with this box was made as a present to Rolf
Langebartels (a sound artist and presenter who ran Galerie Giannozzo in
Berlin).
