About sirr019 ||

"pieces of winter by john hudak and stephan mathieu" is based on one
composition by each of the two sound artists originally made in the winter
of 2002/2003. john hudaks recordings for "winter garden" were based on a
contact microphone buried overnight in snow that turned to ice, then he
recorded snow falling on this enveloping ice. the basic recordings for
stephan mathieus "nuit blanche" were made on christmas eve 2002 with
eva-lucy mathieu on ocarina and himself on pump organ. Finally these
original pieces were exchanged and transformed into a calm, minimal suite of
digital variations.

About sirr018 ||

Maurice Blanchot (1907-2003) is one of the most enigmatic and influential
figures in modern writing. Remembered from the few distant relates and a
clandestine photograph taken in 1922 as being tall, thin and cadaverous in
appearance - Blanchot chose reclusiveness and uncompromise, isolation and
refusal, but his specter lingers on over contemporary thinking.  Blanchot
has avoided interviews, photographs, and academic affiliations; public
knowledge of his life consists of a handful of minor anecdotes and of
inferences built around the appearance of his books and essays. Sirr invited
a hand full of sound artists to deal with his "obscurity".
