When graphic scores become sound
On Saturday, October 31, 2026, St. Michael's Church in Braunschweig will transform into a resonance space for an extraordinary interplay of image and sound. At Sound goes Image, graphic music meets musical graphics – as a sensory art experience between exhibition, concert, and work observation.
Music as visible movement
The focus is on musical interpretations of the graphic scores developed by Grzegorz G. Zgraja in 1978. Lines, signs, and visual structures are not merely observed but translated into sound. The event opens up an aesthetic experience in which perception moves beyond the boundaries of individual art forms.
In dialogue with Grzegorz G. Zgraja
The concert takes place as part of the exhibition Grzegorz G. Zgraja: Audio Video Art – The Beginnings 50 Years Ago at the ONN! gallery. The exhibition recalls early forms of audio-video art and centers on Zgraja's artistic engagement with graphic notation, visual composition, and acoustic interpretation.
A special church space as a sound body
St. Michael's Church on Echternstraße provides the atmospheric framework for this connection of art and music. Architecture, spatial effect, and acoustics shape the exhibition atmosphere and direct attention to the interplay of materiality, signs, and sound. The historic church, which has stood at Echternstraße since 1157, thus becomes part of the aesthetic experience.
Contributors and cultural education
The musical interpretations are shaped by Krzysztof Zgraja, Heinrich Römisch, Elmar Vibrans, and Marcel Reginatto. Their interplay makes an art form tangible that understands perception as an open process: from visual impulses arise rhythmic, acoustic, and spatial concepts. For art enthusiasts, the event offers an illustrative approach to questions of curation, intermedial art, and cultural education.
Conclusion: An art experience between eye and ear
Sound goes Image awaits visitors as a concentrated encounter with graphic music, contemporary art history, and sacred spatial effect. Those who wish to experience how drawn scores become sounding images should attend this special concert at St. Michael's Church live.
