Musik aus dem Ausnahmezustand - Patterns, Schreie und Stille
It was a time when we all had to stay at home. We tried to understand what was coming. A time of waiting. During the Corona period, I set up a small corner with a synthesizer in the bedroom. I always started from the beginning. No sound came out of the synthesizer until I started patching the modules together. Always new patches, always new connections, always unknown circuits. And then I would start recording and improvising.
This practice has developed into a habit that I still practice today. Maybe it's the immediacy of an instrument like a synthesizer, which only needs electricity and a cable to produce sound, and then the loop can start immediately: patching, recording, improvising, listening.
For radio SWR's home studio, I revisited this material and started with a new loop: sorting out, reconstructing, expanding, producing, shaping, combining. The numerous hours of recordings are the material for this work. Partly the material is used pure, partly overlapped, partly expanded, alienated, processed.
