My compositions
are less focussed on getting from A to B but rather to create
static sound architectures, which can be entered and explored
acoustically just like a building. The focus lies on the altercation
between void, density, space, structure, interfacing, statics
and balance. I am interested in a selective mix between living
structures continuously generated or evolving by chance and chain
reactions, contrasting with specifically delimited and contained
space, in which these events are allowed to happen. The compositional
intentions are manifesting themselves through my deliberate containment
and cautious monitoring. Thus, I am not busying myself with chance
factors and generative systems in order to discover unexpected
results, but rather to attain the vitality aspired in the compositions.

Zimoun, born 1977, is an installation and sound
artist from Switzerland and also founder of leerraum [ ],
a label and network of artists who explore space, time, void,
form and structure
based on reductive principles and careful yet radical use of
materials. 2005 and 2006 Zimoun presented through the label leerraum
[ ] 25 sound installations of international artist in
their own showrooms at the centre for culture production called "Progr" (Bern,
Switzerland), and since 2003 has published over 30 CDs, DVDs
and obscure objects of the artists involved. www.leerraum.ch
Since 2004 Zimoun has collaborated with the artist Pe Lang on
their joint project «untitled sound objects», which
is based on work where materials are made to sound by making
them vibrate through computer controlled machines and robots,
and on the related investigation of sound, material, resonance
properties and generative systems. For further information and
