metamusic - a sound installation and concerts for and with Grey Parrots by alien productions was premiered at musikprotokoll 2013. metamusic is a project by the artists’ collective alien productions (Martin Breindl, Norbert Math and Andrea Sodomka) with and for the benefit of a group of African Grey Parrots. For the past several years – in strict observation of animal welfare regulations and in close cooperation with zoologists and biologists from the ARGE Papageienschutz (Association for the Protection of Parrots Austria; APPA) – the artists have been investigating how the birds respond to acoustic stimuli by actively producing their own sounds. At the Höhenrausch 2015 they will work for the first time with a very large group of  21 Grey Parrots. Special concerts with the artists and the birds: July 12th , August 2nd, September 6th and October 11th, 2015, 9:00 am.

opening: Thu, May 28th, 2015, 6:00 pm
