An exhibition at the Alte Münze, Berlin shows two of my works:
Opening is on Saturday 24.03.2018 at 5 pm, here are the further dates:
Here is a VIDEO and the official website of the event

Months of sound tinkering and subtleties. Now he’s out: Cluster. A song that brushes sound and counter-sound with and against the line.
I was inspired by a sound of the Omnisphere2, so I decided to use this software synthesizer in particular.
Melody voice is a Waldorf Blofeld, that’s almost clear, the Blofeld hoarded next to my Prophet 12 to the instruments with which I can best express what I want to represent.
Many thanks to Kunstleben Berlin for this in-depth interview about my works:
Olaf Schirm (Symboter) – Die Auslotung der Frequenz
The quarterly Art Light magazine reports in its issue 1-2018 about my science art installation Quantom on the occasion of the exhibition “Ecstasies Theresa” at the Alte Münze, Berlin. (still under my artist name “symboter” which I now use exclusively for my musical activities).
Often I just shake my head, but that excites me so much that I have to get rid of it:
It is repeatedly claimed that human DNA would have a resonance frequency of 150MHz.
In principle, I think such considerations are good and therefore follow them, but critically. Where does this supposed resonance frequency come from? It should be calculated from the fact that the DNA is considered to be a wound antenna, which results in a length of about 2m. The frequency can then be calculated from the length.
With this half-knowledge, therapy devices are now being built for gullible customers.
So just briefly, that wasn't going to work:
1) Anyone who knows the tuning button on the radio knows how exactly you have to set a frequency in order to receive. Human DNA is between 1.8 and 2.0 meters long, which is a huge spectrum. So you would have to determine the length, I don't know if anyone did that. But it certainly won't come out exactly 150MHz.
2) The DNA of man and woman is processed differently (XX vs. XY chromosome pair).
3) the DNA is not present as a single strand, but is divided into 46 chromosomes (each chromosome is flattened up to 5cm long), i.e. if only then we have 46 antennas with completely different frequencies. Simply adding many small antennas to a large one is simply nonsense.
In the resonance devices, "healing frequencies" are modulated. I am not so critical of this, but it is easier to implement, see e.g. binaural modulation of alpha, beta, theta and gamma frequencies.
