Silver Sounds

Reinterpreting Queen's University's Silver Collection

Diemo Schwarz

German artist Diemo Schwarz is a composer of electronic music and a musician on drums and laptop. He holds a PhD in computer science applied to music and is currently a researcher and developer at the IRCAM Institute in Paris.

Schwarz's soundscape for the presentation seal and trowel is made up of three parts incorporating a variety of recorded sounds associated with the making of the objects in the silversmith's workshop, the materiality of the objects and finally the memories associated with it.
