Monolith - Präsentation & field recordings
Monolith
The project ‘Monolith’ emerged in 2010-2012, in collaboration with the sound artist
Lawrence English. During our Antarctica residency we made various audio and video
recordings which resulted in media works as well as radio pieces and live performances.
As a contribution to shut up an listen!, I intend to give insights in our roughly four
weeks-long stay at the Argentinian research stations ‚Marambio’ and ‚Esperanza’ and
present un-treated audio recordings as well as excerpts from our audio-visual works.

Werner Dafeldecker
Born 1964 in Vienna, Austria.
Werner Dafeldecker has a background in European modern music and improvisation,
examination of graphical notations, fluxus, minimal music, electro-acoustic music, jazz

influences such as architecture, physics, photography and film. Longtime sound and
structure studies and the formulation of distinct articulations are in the center of
Dafeldecker’s work as a composer and musician and parallel to technological
developements often connected with electronic formats.
