The permanent sound installation "Music for Elevators" was created in 2020 together with the Finnish artist Jimi Tenor. The concept behind the "Music for Elevators" project is to transform the ride on the Schlossberg lift in Graz into a sound journey with a specially interpreted version of lift music. Since 2020, Jimi Tenor, Brian Eno, Caterina Barbieri and Dorian Concept have collaborated on the project.
Modular synth alchemist Suzanne Ciani will not only present a multi-channel live set on Thursday, but will also activate the Schlossberg elevator with a specially composed sound installation. The now established commissioned format “Music For Elevators”, which is being implemented with the support of KIÖR and New Perspectives in Action, will transform the futuristic, alluring elevator cabin into an associative and sound-imaginative chamber of wonders for a year. Ciani's ethereal sci-fi sounds transform the Schlossberg into a cinematically evocative backdrop. And an exclusively pressed postcard vinyl of it will also be available to buy.
Part of "New Perspectives for Action". A project by Re-Imagine Europe, co funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union. In Cooperation with "Universalmuseum Joanneum – Institut für Kunst im öffentlichen Raum Steiermark" and "Holding Graz".
