- OSCILLOSCOPE MUSIC
- 09.05.2025
The Wavering Worlds series goes on an excursion. Since bb15 moved to its current location, there has been a desire to organise an event in the New Cathedral opposite. Due to the special architecture and acoustics of this building, it can provide an impressive setting for the staging of experimental music and that is exactly what we intend to do. Over four evenings in 2025, a selected group of artists will explore the specifics of the space and develop site-specific settings for their sound performances.

OSCILLOSCOPE MUSIC
Oscilloscope Music is the audiovisual project by Jerobeam Fenderson and Hansi3D where images are drawn with sound. The glowing green line drawings took the internet by storm in 2016 when their first self-titled album came out, and they released their second album N-Spheres in late 2024 on floppy disk.
In their live shows they have upgraded from analog oscilloscopes to high-speed multi-wavelength lasers, sending the audience on an omnisensoric interdimensional geometric space experience.
Oscilloscope Music consists of Jerobeam Fenderson and Hansi3D.
Jerobeam Fenderson is an audiovisual artist and electronic tinkerer based in Vienna, Austria, who likes drones, lasers, computers and cats.
Hansi3D grew up in Austria, he still lives there. He really likes math, music and programming so making oscilloscope music has become the perfect rabbit hole for him.

On April 9th, bb15 will host a performative presentation by ‚Sounds like a Book‘ – a self-publishing and sound art platform, in collaboration with the Time-Based Media department of Kunstuniversität Linz.
Following a day-long workshop, the evening event, which is open to the public, will offer a glimpse into the residency’s playful and experimental structure and approach, re-imagining and expanding the meaning of the books and sounds in performative ways.
The event will feature artist books and sound pieces by the following artists: Georgiana Cojocaru, Janine Jop, Laure Catugier, Lena Ciobanu, Lisa Marie Schmitt, Lucian Barbu, Irina Motroc, and Ruxandra Nițescu. Additionally, students from the Time-Based Media department will present their interventions and engagements with the books and sounds of the latest edition of the residency entitled ‚Sounds like a Book: (S)pace‘.

Sounds like a Book is a book-making and self-publishing platform that addresses those interested in the book as a medium of artistic expression. As the chosen name suggests, SLB focuses on the visual transmission, conversion, and representation of the sound.
Since 2019, Sounds Like a Book has taken the form of a residency program, hosted at Casa Albastră in Șona, Romania. The latest edition, Sounds Like a Book: (S)pace, focused on various bodily perspectives and rhythms to explore the network of body-space-sound as it unfolds in the process of listening.

Bernd Oppl’s works – whether in the form of models, photographs, sound installations, or moving image works as projections and on displays – fundamentally deal with the uncertainty of perception in a world where the visible and audible are always material (magnetic tape, concrete, glass, the White Cube, etc.) and virtual at the same time, thus situating the world mostly in an uncanny intermediate space: present and absent, tangible and ephemeral, external and internalised, both all-encompassing and radically confined.
