ACHIM CHRISTIAN BORNHOFT (*1966): artificial clichés ANNA IKRAMOVA (*1966): Einstimmig… MARCUS ANTONIUS WESSELMANN (1965): in the mix THOMAS NEUHAUS (*1961): 5 kleine Stücke über die kleinen Laute eines kleinen Menschen KILIAN SCHWOON (*1972): Orpheus und Demokrit - eine Klaviermusik mit Tonband Musicians: Achim Christian Bornhöft, electroacoustic compositionAnna Ikramova, electroacoustic compositionMarcus Antonius Wesselmann, electroacoustic compositionThomas Neuhaus, electroacoustic compositionKilian Schwoon, electroacoustic composition There is a kaleidoscope of 5 compositions on this CD. Artificial clichés creates an acoustic picture in which the view of nature which is shown is not natural enough to be perceived as it should be, but the artificial is not artificial enough to be explicitly not art. Einstimmig… (For one voice …) deals with a woman’s voice. In this piece vibrations of the vocal chords, speech sounds and the melody of the scream are processed in sound. Through form and colour in in the mix musical and scenic sequences are joined or rather conveyed, and the scenic sequences allow associations with real events. 5 kleine Stücke über die kleinen Laute eines kleinen Menschen (5 little pieces about the little noises of a little person) deals with the natural noises of a baby which are changed to the point of being unrecognisable but nevertheless always allow their origin to shine through. In Orpheus and Demokrit (piano music with tape), sounds created by the piano form the basis of the tape part. Larger arcs are formed in such a way that one’s attention is shifted from the actual hitting of the keys to the vibration of the body of the piano and, thus, a kind of song is created. |
