The SoundBoxes Concept:
Music is to be made invisible by being packed in wooden boxes and thus sounding "hidden". The concept was created in the spirit of the artist couple Christo and Jeanne-Claude, who have become known through their concealment works.
Breaking in an ironic way with the modern Hans-Joachim Hespos, who had once a drummer free himself with a welder from an iron tank, the postmodern Hans-Joachim Heßler utilizes tin toys, drilling machine and silicone syringe.
"A concert, in which he [Heßler] combined
traditional musical sounds with those of craftsmanship [...] to [create] an unusual sound experience.
[...] [It] rattled, knocked, squeaked and gurgled [...] invisibly, yet the boxes were perfectly in tune
with each other."(Rheinische Post vom 10.11.2010).
