Elmar Daucher (born August 13, 1932 in Neuenburg am Rhein , † August 25, 1989 in Oggelshausen ) was a German sculptor .

life and work

Elmar Daucher trained as a stonemason at the stone processing school in Wunsiedel and then studied sculpture at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart from 1952 to 1955 . From 1968 on he worked as an artist in Oggelshausen. In 1969 he was one of the initiators of the sculpture symposium Oggelshausen , which was held by the sculptor Karl Prantl in Austria in Sankt Margarethen in Burgenland , based on the model of the symposium of European sculptors . Daucher had participated in a symposium in St. Margarethen in 1966. Other symposia in which he participated were those at the Strasse der Skulpturen in St. Wendel in Saarland in 1971, in Mauthausen in Austria in 1972, in Suwako in Japan in 1978 and 1980 in Lahr .

In 1974 Daucher discovered, as it were, as a by-product the musical inner workings of his stone sculptures, which are criss-crossed by deep saw cuts, and developed a whole series of sound stones from them . Dauchers prototypes are influenced by representations of the harmonic research of Hans Kayser . His sound stones were the focus of the exhibitions "Klangskulpturen '85" (Würzburg), "SteinKlangStein" (Ulm 1986) and "Klangsteine ​​- Steinklänge" (Munich 1989). In terms of composition, Stephan Micus , Michael Vetter and Klaus Hinrich Stahmer deal with the sound world of the sound stones created by Daucher. In Stahmer's composition Kristallgitter (1992), the tones of a sound stone are fused with a string quartet by means of electronic ring modulation.
