The artistic projects of composer and sound artist Denim Szram (born 1990 in Miltenberg) oscillate between music production, performance, multimedia installations and immersive soundscapes. As an electronic musician, he creates compositions for spaces, dance and theatre. As an expert for 3D audio, the staging of acoustic spaces, the artist extends sound to other media and creates audiovisual systems and sound interfaces to explore the possible uses of new technologies.

On the occasion of the work ‘Melting Gallery’, Denim Szram and the artist Diana Lelonek collaborated for the first time in 2019. The multi-channel sound installation is based on sound recordings of draining off water that Lelonek collected on three Swiss Alpine glaciers (Rhone, Aletsch and Morteratsch) and which Szram put together to form a kind of symphony of disappearing ice.

By means of the sound installation, the steadily advancing catastrophe, the irretrievable, accelerated melting of the glaciers, opens up to immediate sensory perception. In Geneva, the work was presented directly on the shores of Lake Geneva, bridging the topographical distance between the melting ice and the lake, which is fed by water from the distant mountains.
