German singer, composer and sound artist Michael Schiefel will present an interactive soundscape, together with media expert Fabian Bronner at the Goethe Institue Hanoi from August 26 through September 10.

Inspired by his trip to Hanoi in early 2016, Michael Schiefel presents an interactive soundscape based on five different emotions. Together with musician and media expert Fabian Bronner he created a touching and playful acoustic installation that is presented at the Goethe-Institut Hanoi.

The audience is invited on a journey through many feelings in an interactive setting. Each visitor can change the mood of the environment by meandering between five different sound sources and therefore discover unexpected changes from happiness to sadness, from anger to satisfaction and from coldness back to happiness. 

Michael Schiefel studied Vocal Jazz at the UdK Berlin and works as a singer, composer and sound artist. In addition to his concert career throughout the world, he works especially on the combination of vocal improvisation with loops and other electronics. 

Since 2001 Michael Schiefel works as a Professor of vocal improvisation at the Weimar School of Music “Frank Liszt”.

Fabian Bronner founded his own music production company with a focus on orchestral recordings while he was still in school. Since then, he conducts research in the areas of sound, lighting and image, for which he received the 2012 Award of the Federal Chancellor at Europe’s largest talent competition of science “Jugend forscht”. 

Bronner has been involved in the promotion of young talents and he currently studies Computer Engineering in Paderborn.
