SOUND ART | INSTALLATIONS | Video | Audio | 2012–2002

For his sound installations and video works, he uses electroacoustic audio material, digital media, and field recordings. His sound installations range from electromagnetic, interactive, and mechanical hybrid installations to multichannel sound compositions. Kettler works thematically, experimenting with artificial or natural spatial environments. The visual and acoustic spaces are designed with maximum simplicity. He explores the physical aspects of sound, site-specific acoustic transmissions, and transparency in the soundscape.

Field recordings include urban and industrial sounds as well as sounds from nature.

The boundaries of sound are explored in areas where its sensory properties influence memory and recollection. Kettler’s sound compositions draw on the sounds of instruments and electronics, noise, and mechanical sounds, which are digitally processed and combined into multichannel or mono sound installations.
