01.05.04 Arturas Bumsteinas: one hour as eurovision

This one hour audio experience is mixed from my two recent albums "Floating Points" and "Retorta". The compositions are edited with a digital video camera and merged with the sounds comming from the radio. In the beginning you can almost hear the song by one local pop star who took the last prize in the Eurovision song contest some years ago.

Arturas Bumsteinas, 2003/12/29 Vilnius.

Jos Smolders: 53'17" as S (a surrealist's time capsule)
10 works which present the old and the new, the quiet and the exuberant, the rhythmic and the chaotic, the electronic and the acoustic. All part of the merry-go-round inside my head.
1. moeilijk (2003) as a gift to dmdn's birthday
2. interlude 1 (rework (for DVD) of Tietchens' Von Mund Zu Mund, as yet unreleased)
3. entrevue, an imaginary interview with Pierre Henry (1998)
4. interlude 2
5. blip (2002)
6. DnB hash (2001)
7. interlude 3
8. jazzz mix (2001) version of interactive project which was published at radiantslab.com
9. coda, wrapping up 1 to 8 once again


This does not sum up to one hour. If it needs to be full then there is a 10th track. People open their windows and listen.

Marc Zeier/G*Park: one hour as Bernel and Hofmann

I had two old pianos - a pianola (Bernel) from 1820, and a grand piano (Hofmann) from the 1930's - which I decided to sell. The night before their removal I recorded the raw material for this last piece. I processed the recording during the following weeks by reducing it more and more. Finally I added some Pink Noise (whose frequencies are equally distributed on the whole frequency spectrum, it wipes out everything around). Towards the end of the piece it increases, and when it stops abruptly, the room seems to implode.

The piece has to do with our memory: bits of earlier impressions, from sequences in the first part, rise to the surface later again and start to turn around, loop-like - overlapped by snatches of white noise - moving to the foreground and then fading away.

Concentrating on the material all these weeks I felt more and more on with the huge resonance bodies of the two pianos...

"Im Grunde wollen wir Klavier sein, sagte er, nicht Menschen sein, sondern Klavier sein, zeitlebens wolln wir Klavier und nicht Mensch sein, entfliehen dem Menschen, der wir sind, um ganz Klavier zu werden, was aber immer misslingen muss (...)"
from: Thomas Bernhard, Der Untergeher
