Das Synthetische Mischgewebe - El Pez-Vidriera



Cassette, C60
Label : Freedom In A Vacuum / Alien Artists, Canada / Germany
Limited edition of 200 numbered copies


For soundhead.

"The music on this cassette is related to, but isn't, the soundtrack of 'El Pez-Vidriera' (The Fish-Churchwindow), a peformance given in the fishsellers' section of a market in Barcelona. The performance is based on a story of a man who enters a world in which everything is reduced to a sort of paralysis, drifting slowly, without will. The man finds these forms very attractive and wishes to become part of them. He realizes the danger inherent in this form of existence, but sees clearly in recollection that he has seldom really steered his life. The man lies down and becomes sleepy, but dreams quite badly. An unidentifiable screaming awakens him. He stands and has to realize that this world was and is a reflection of his own."

On January 14th, Guido Hübner has sent me a message about that cassette :

"It is true, as the text to the cassettes tries to explain, we did a performance at the market at the Ramblas in Barcelona in the fish sellers part. Our very first public appearance when we started to live there. In the beginning and the end of the performance, early versions of the first and last piece of the cassette had been send through the megaphone like loud-speakers on the market.
For the main part of the performance L'Akstremaunçió created the soundtrack. This was mainly due to the fact that we symphatised when we meet the first time when DSM played in Zaragoza (En la fronterra) and that the group hasn't been complete and we all turned to actors/performers exclusively. It was a remarcable experience. We did some subsequent video work together but somehow lost contact due to way to different priorities in life, unfortunatly.
Mr Tibetan Red made the contact to Freedom in the vacuum if my memory serves well. In a quick succession we released 'Bardo' on ZSF, 'Was ist das, die Realität ?' on Tonspur, 'What is this, the Reality' on Harsh Reality Music and 'El pez-vidriera'. All these works had been related to performances we have done at the time, but do not actually represent the soundtrack.
We have also performed at the "Mercat de les flores" performing several times the same work at the same day, reinjecting all type of traces made (photocopies, video, etc.) into the next successive representation. We did a little similar work later on performing several hours without break but based on a likely principle of reusing what had been created just beforehand.
Hope this will clarify the one or other point."

Das Synthetische Mischgewebe has just released a 2x10" on Auf Abwegen and a new CD on Waystyx is on its way. Another LP and a split CD with TBC from Hamburg shall follow soon.

Tibetan Red - Tibetan Red



CD
Label : Gràcia Territori Sonor, Spain, 2000


Requested by Hogon.

"To put your entire musical output on one CD, and thus offering the "complete works by" - what an interesting idea (that's why I am so fond of Varese and Webern - the consequent, small body of work). In the mid 80s somebody recorded as Tibetan Red, having one track on the LP 'Freedom In A Vacuum', the first release by a label with the same name and a cassette on that very same label. That somebody came from Spain, went to Canada and is now in Southern Europe. Thus we see the CD released on a label from Barcelona.
'Scanning' (the comp piece aswell in it's complete form on cassette) is an excellent piece of layered shortwave sounds, morse codes and underlying drones from a synth. 'Kalahari Fire Birth' uses many unidentifable sounds, set against the tape-loop (sampling was virtually non-existent in those days) of ethno origin. A raw version of zoviet*france like ambience. 'The Sistine Chapel' is a previously unreleased track, and also works with looped ethno material, here the didgeredoo. All three tracks clock at 20 minutes and all have a trance like spirit, without leaping into boredom. What I particulary like about this CD is the undated, fresh rawness of the 80s cassette movement, transformed to CD. An aural document of the 'anything goes' attitude, which Vital owes it's credit to, too".
Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly N° 244

Jeph Jerman / Hands To - Interview & Exclusive Recording [Radio Broadcast Series #3]



Cassette
Exclusive recordings, US, 1990


In March 1990, Jeph Jerman recorded an interview for our local radio show, as well as a Hands To exclusive track designed for a unique airplay. In the interview, he describes that track like that :
"This piece is based on an idea of sensory overload, like having so much information coming that you can't deal with it, and it sets up a sort of feedback in your brain which induce your ability to process the information that's coming in. I haven't released these pieces anywhere else. I have released different versions of them on several different cassettes, but in this form, that I send you, this is only place you may be able to hear it".
After the listen of the audio interview, I suggest the reading of that more recent one, that is an excellent complement and continuation.

Various Artists - Régénération - Dégénérescence



2 x CD
Label : Kaon, France, 1997
Limited edition of 500 copies


"There is, in the Limoges (France) area, a number of neglected industrial sites. If one's walking in these sites he would be able to experience their past activities - more or less recent ; it would be revealed by characteristic material or by the site's layout itself. One of these places has hold our attention : an industrial complex of 10 hectares was created at the end of the 19th century on the banks of a river. Its goal was to regenerate hevea's sap in order to manufacture tires, tennis balls, soles, gloves, teats... It helped the just born latex civilization to grow... This decaying factory, disused since some years, was ruined by many fires due to the numerous flammable and polluting materials located on site. Despite the fact that the place is disused, it has got a strong sound identity, a rich sound spectrum.
It was very important for us to introduce this area to you. The interest was to combine the place's discovery with the discovery of the works of numerous artists - working with field recordings made on specific sites. The recording of sound atmospheres of a place could be considered as fixing a fragment of time, space, history (Quite like a photograph).
Representative matters (wood, stone, rubber) of the factory were taken, then sent to the artists. The parcel also contains photographs of the place and a representative sound sample of 15 mn, a kind of sound plotting. This field recording was made by TOY BIZARRE in January and February 1996 and edited by Bruno MOREIGNE. We decided to avoid human sound sources in order to let the place "express itself". With these 15 minutes of sound and the various samples of the place, each artist was able to give its own sound interpretation of the place. The one and only restraints were : to use ONLY the sounds we gave (to do a sound regeneration) and to record a track of 4 mn 30 maximum. All the sound treatment/composition methods were authorized. [You can listen to the original sounds by playing the uneven tracks.]
We can draw a parallel between the rubber regeneration (past activity of the factory) and the regeneration of the factory's actual sound (the result of the decay of the place) ; that's the core of this project. This parallel also allows us to apprehend the sensibilities, the place's visions of each artist - because they all worked on the same sound basis".
