The Canadian composer and sound artist Robin Minard (*1953 in Montréal, Kanada, lives in Weimar) left the protected concert hall in the end of the 1980s to argue with the real sound space of the urbane world and to search the sound-ecological balance that, thus his intention exists till this day, in our everyday world.

More than 30 years later an extensive, internationally important oeuvre has originated. In him visual and acoustic perception associates themselves. Besides, the architectural rooms in which he realizes his works have turned out ideal field for the test of both principles. Nevertheless, the sound installations of the Canadian artist are not there to fill acoustically these rooms as it happens during a music event. Robin Minard explores rather the places to draw the attention to other specific features.
Besides, the experience of the hearing is not limited by the time. Who approaches the installations, can return, differently than with concerts which are engaged to temporal default.
