«embroidered acoustic»

isle of music Rheinau 2014

The former Benedictine monastery, located on one of the Rhine's loops in Rheinau Switzerland, has been renovated and transformed into a peaceful rehearsal residence for musicians of all profiles and styles.

Fixed and moveable acoustic installations answer best the reverberation requirements for the music hall. They were designed by Kahle Acoustics Brussels. However, the highlight of the music hall is the art project «Suprematistisches Stickwerk» by the Swiss artist Beat Zoderer. Reflecting and absorbing acoustic panels were embroidered with the artwork. Along the windows the translucent acoustic curtain «STREAMER classic» by Annette Douglas Textiles ACOUSTICS® was mounted and works as a moveable absorber. Annette Douglas was responsible for the production and implementation of the embroidered wall and the curtains in the music hall.
