Track

"Wiedersehen im Café Porsche"

White noise is uncertainty made hearable, the manifestation of absolute audible contingency. At any time figures may arise from the unstructured sonic fog only to vanish in the very next moment. This track exclusively utilizes white noise and its opposite (in terms of certainty): silence.

Track

"Billion years old carbon"



Not much to tell here. Played back chunks of digital data as audio samples. Selection aesthetically motivated.

"Rough'n'Ready"



Recorded two longer tracks (Where the rednecks stay up late/Nightfall on Planet Rock) on tape. Removed the magnetic tape from cassette and glued it onto different objects (like the cassette case, books, cds, chocolate bars, and so on).

Play back this tape using a loose magnetic head.

Track

"Grey and other goos"



Ecophagous piece for radio, voice recorder, speakers and mic.

"Grand Entrances - Grand Escapes"



A self-recording record. Nearly blank in the beginning, it's the record player's needle that carves ever changing grooves into its surface. However, change might simply your illusion - as a result from listening to the same loops over and over again. Also played this at "die wüste lebt" in berlin (August 30th 2008) accompanying the record by circuit-bending a toy tape recorder.

Track

"In The Land Of Lounge Lizards"



All samples originate from "the freesound project". Furthermore, the piece's "score" is also derived from that website: starting with a random pick, i selected the least similar sound from the "similar sounds"-list to determine how to continue.

Track

"Warum Leute, die ihre Ausführungen mit 'warum' beginnen, in der Regel nichts zu erklären haben"

Fuzzy soundtracks for fuzzy photos. Sounds recorded using my digicam's audio comment function. Only minimal processing applied. This track has also been released as a full-length cdr: a number of these recordings have been individually wrapped and put in public places, accompanied with a note that asks the listener to spread further copies.
