The four soundworks are based on stories by Franz Kafka,
Patricia Highsmith, Julio Cortázar and Dietmar Dath. In all the
stories the main characters are animals or nonhuman creatures.
The album title "animot" is a word creation by Jacques Derrida
which is a mix of the french "animal" and "mot" but also another
spelling for "animaux".

Fresco/Sommer are playing "Glas und Porzellan" Live at Open Studio Glattpark on January 21st 2023.

«Fragment 1» is the first piece composed of recordings that have emerged over the past few years. These recordings originate from glasses and porcelain objects placed on plates, which are set in motion by synthesizers. Like a controlled earthquake, the objects tremble on the surface and begin to resonate. This sound is captured by 16 piezo microphones and processed through effects.
This working method is an adaptation of the sound installation Glas- und Porzellanabteilung, which was developed in 2021 for the Klang Moor Schopfe festival.

Fragment 6

For «Fragment 7», we started with a bass sound we found in our recordings, which reminded us of Rhythm & Sound tracks from the mid/late ’90s. Then some ghostly voices, captured through glasses, joined the arrangement. But since they were so quiet, we had to amplify them significantly, which brought up all the background noise, creating a beautiful background texture for the whole track. Another reference is an effect used in ’70s dub, where tape speed was manipulated, for example in Extraordinary Version by Impact All Stars.

Fragment 7

«Fragment 8» is the eighth piece in this series. It's composed of recordings that have emerged over the past few years. These recordings originate from glasses and porcelain objects placed on plates, which are set in motion by synthesizers. This sound is captured by 16 piezo microphones and processed through effects. For this track we worked with short, ever changing repetitions. Loop fragments change constantly and rapidly, appearing both repetitive and chaotic at the same time.
