Panoramic Acoustic Images
In addition to the already well-known stagings of landscapes in our art collection, we are now pleased to present this series of mountain panoramas from the Tyrolean Alps:
Four selected motifs are presented in 3 different sizes each to suit different room sizes. The photographs by the artist Peter Philipp were elaborately prepared for the prints. The most beautiful details were selected for each format.
Printing was done on Whisperwool acoustic wall panels in order to guarantee optimal sound reduction. The recessed frames make the panoramas seem to float in front of the wall.
The pictures convey the longing for vastness, the feeling of silence and contemplation. The simple and austere beauty of the mountain world touches and soothes.
Tyrolean Mountains
"It is quiet on the mountain. A soft murmur of the wind in the mountain pines, from far away perhaps cowbells. The mountain sheep drowns its wise words in the sound-absorbing surface of its fellow species - peace reigns here.
The Alps are the Creator's structural engineering project culminating in stone, and Alpine architecture is due to an involuntary urge to fold and is subject to erosion like the face of the mountain farmer. Thus, the mountains not only shape the culture of the Alpine inhabitants, but also their innermost being, whereby the respective valley end becomes audible acoustically in the respective dialect."

PPHILIPP
Peter Philipp is an Austrian photographic artist, musician and designer of many kinds. In addition to unique architectural and landscape photography, he has made an international name for himself primarily through his fantastic staging of automobiles.
Representation
"The photographer who weighs himself in the idyll tends to transfigure a romantic mountain world and puts its beauty in the foreground. The alpinist, on the other hand, knows the happiness of the mountain experience, but also the danger, the risk, the plague and the respect for it. The mountains are ascent and abyss at the same time. Peter Philipp depicts his Tyrolean homeland in this attitude: pure, unadorned and, in this way, a case of architectural photography ..."
(Peter Philipp)
"Exploring material possibilities and applications, experimenting and then perfecting them are my passion: for example, different printing techniques. And what I was additionally granted as a product developer: I was even able to optimise the base material, in this case Whisperwool, to the printing techniques, which led to very unique results.
We have now spent over 5 years testing and developing printing techniques, material surfaces, structures and wool blends. All this experience now culminates in the mountain panoramas by Peter Philipp. For this, the motifs are laid on top of each other in 5 layers. Black hatchings form the contrasts in four layers. The bottom layer delicately draws the colours. Special digital printers are used to print directly onto or into the wool. The colour penetrates the fibres. The unprinted, mottled wool forms the background of the images. The printed hatchings fade slightly into the wool and thus create the magical atmosphere. With an incredible depth effect, the almost magical moods of the panoramas come alive and the surreal landscapes awaken in their own magic."
