Release "Die Antizipation des Generalized Other" (SHMF-19+34)


CDr-release "Die Antizipation des Generalized Other"

My contribution to the ongoing remix-project of the same title by the prolific artist duo Mama Baer and Kommissar Hjuler. They recorded a cdr on which they read and discuss a text about George Herbert Mead and ask musicians to remix this recording.

I built kind of a musical instrument that works similar to Mead's concept of the generalized other. Two cassette recorders equipped with additional magnetic heads interact with each other. Past output of the one is taken on and modified as expectation by the other in its present output and vice versa.
The first four tracks are the direct output of this musical instrument.

The fifth very short track is intended to be loop, like a lock groove. I recorded the sounds for this last track using a contact mic i placed on the floor while playing the other tracks.
