Audioscenarion 020 [July 2021]

"Silence" is a peaceful journey through quiet and meditative soundscapes, based on personal studies about sleep, subconsciousness and higher awareness, in combination with a deep interest in old electronic sounds from the past century.

It is an attempt to play less, in order to gain more. Like minimal music with repeating and shifting multi-layered soundscapes. Like slow motion sound painting, with a curious view of how things evolve naturally.

All five tracks are based on improvisations, following no specific rules or schemes. Everything flows in way that works uniquely for you, as you drift along in sound and time.

Tracklist:
1. Silence / 2. Calm Times / 3. Slow Horizon / 4. Things Will Disappear And Be Forgotten / 5. Weightless Sleep

Written and produced by Kraut Sounds (while the cat gently slept beside)
Recorded February to April 2021
Mastered by James Edward Armstrong
Photography by Kraut Sounds

Kraut Sounds - Snippets Of Silence (Mini Album)

Under Lively Tree

Marie is a wanderer in music.
Musically and instrumentally trained since her earliest childhood she played keys in a punk band, created sound installations and studied classical composition at the University Of The Arts Berlin. In 2005 she began publishing her new electronic music, which is influenced by electronica, techno, and ambient music, under the pseudonym Marie Wilhelmine Anders.

-

For this album, photographs by Thomas Lutz illustrate a narrative that is recounted with my music. A person - let’s call them "She" - who leaves her parent’s house to lead an independent life. But then for whatever circumstances, she faces the danger of homelessness.

"She’s Leaving", the title track, is inspired by an experience at age 17, when I left my parent’s house and carried a box of my things on foot to my new home. On my 38th birthday - the day my grandmother died - I wrote this piano piece.

"Variation I" features a modified piano with sound built in the granular synthesizer. In "Variation II" and "III" this process is continued with addition of instruments and spatial effects.

"Night Tube" is both a further variation and a reminiscence of "Waking the Witch" by Kate Bush. Taken from the second side of her "Hounds Of Love" LP, the concept piece "The Ninth Wave" tells the story of a girl floating alone on the sea in a life raft. Voices of her family in her fantasy awaken her again and again, saving her from falling asleep, freezing to death and drowning.
In "Night Tube" I think of a homeless person who nods off in the London subway at night and is startled, again and again, by inner and outer voices. In the metaphorical sense, it’s also about being scared awake in one’s own circumstances. There are currently an estimated 59,000 homeless women in Germany.

„Without A Sound“ closes the album. With this remix of the piano piece „She’s Leaving“ I tried to capture some of the emptiness and quiet vastness of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s music („async“). The trumpet samples come from a nocturnal jam session in the recording studio of the Stuttgart Musikhochschule in which I was involved.

With the additional „Threads of Reflections“ remix*, Belial Pelegrim contributes a unique cinematic soundscape with a generous and gentle atmosphere.

All photographs on which the music is based and an extensive artwork can be found in the bonus material.

A portion of the proceeds from this album will be donated to Light House, a homeless prevention support center https://annapolislighthouse.org
