“Labyrinth 14/3” is part of a large-scale project in which Mitterer utilises the same musical material as a basis to react to a variety of different spatial situations: Münsterplatz, a square in Bonn; the Wasserturm-Areal, the space around the water tower in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin, and also in the Baroque garden in Herrenhausen. Choral singers, musicians, electronics and six groups of amplifiers will permit sounds and landscape architecture to blend and transform the garden into a sculpture of space and sound.
