The partitur of the piece Impulse ( 1959) will be shown at the ZKM in Karlsruhe from July 13, 2018 until January 6, 2018. Impulse is Kayn’s first handwritten electronic piece of 8 minutes and has never been realized.
From the exhibition website: “The exhibition will present PRES as an institution oriented towards audio-visual experimentation, constantly looking forward. Being influenced by visual arts and happenings, artists and composers, the PRES managed to establish a new language that is open to the listener’s interpretation.”
