Re: [microsound] frequencies hz (the continuation)

["ralph steinbrüchel" <steinbruchel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

well, in my opinion it seems like the reviewer payed to much attention to 
the text in the booklet instead of the music on the cd. maybe he studied to
much...

i happen to be one of those "boring" artists with a track on the compilation
which seems to suck and i myself (and not because i'm part of the comp, but
of course nobody will believe that) think that it's a very good compilation.

the whole concept of the compilation was simply to bring together all the
artists that have performed during the performance series which was held in
connection with the frequenzen [hz] exhibition at the schirn kunsthalle in
frankfurt in 2002.

this is also why the correct title of the cd is:

FREQUENCIES [HZ]
A COMPILATION OF THE PERFORMANCE SERIES 2002

that's how it's written on the cover of the cd. the logical reason for the
time limitation was out of the nature to fit all 28 artists onto the same
cd. very simple...

i myself enjoyed this limitation and tried to create my small world of sound
in those 120 seconds. comparing this to the 20 to 2000 series of
raster-noton (like the reviewer does) doesn't make any sense at all. for
instance out of the time frame? just a suggestion...

i see the compilation as a successfull overview of the artists work which
performed during the exhibition was held and of course pan sonic sounds like
pan sonic. that's why they are pan sonic and i'm not...

and the idea of the 120 bpm restriction was that there are no pauses between
the tracks and so for instance hecker takes straight over after frank
bretschneider which moves you as a listener from one sound world to another
in a nice pace.

of course all this is only my opinion.

have a happy microsoundish night
ralph.

ps: and besides the cover is beautiful : )
