Expelled From The Radiophonic Workshop _ Broken Dreams (sahel Edit)

The title "Kyr-kor" is a play on the Swedish words for churches (kyrkor) and cows (kor). The material used for this very short dreamscape features church bells and cowbells recorded while hiking in two small villages in Bavaria: Roßhaupten and Oberaudorf respectively. Today, these types of sounds are probably associated mostly with rural charm. But they also have a long tradition in music history. Mahler, for instance, was particularly fond of cowbells. However, both of these bell sounds also connote domestication and power. Church bells once demanded that villagers attend church services, and cowbells are a means of control. The large bells worn around the neck of free-roaming livestock help herders keep track of their cattle, but have in recent years been considered harmful to the animals' hearing and feeding habits. The edited snippets used in the collage reflect on these different aspects and are furthermore combined with the ringing sound of rain recorded on my home block in Stockholm, just opposite the Högalid Church and the columbarium where a dear and deeply missed friend of mine is resting.

“Dream_1” by Mirjam Baker
engl. translation of the vocal text:

“…and then there was a rampant fire, and..
I call the rescue service first because maybe
and then I call the fire department 
because if there's nobody up there
then I have to pay a fine or something

OK ( yawn) and then there was this paramedic guy 
who actually just wanted to see his girlfriend (yawn) 
…maybe she was somewhere....ahhhhh... 
maybe she was somewhere in a shed 
or by chance somewhere behind a rock
or they were able to save themselves and then they survived... miraculously survived
 yes... can be”

Non-Identical Drift _ Seroconversion

"One day a young beautiful man entered my friend's restaurant. He opened and unfolded a case. By his looks, I was sure, that someone had sent an assassin to me and now he would unpack his 12 knives to kill me. Somehow surprised and fascinated I watched the scene, realising that he had 12 flutes in the case. We became friends for a day and later on, recorded him playing in a backroom of the restaurant."

Hormony _ Zafire Vrba

The original sound source was part of my field recording regarding my project about lighthouses. I had a chance to meet and interview a lighthouse keeper in Spain; we talked about different soundscapes in the ports nowadays, even though some lighthouses keep functioning visually. An operating foghorn is not mandatory anymore in the EU, therefore most lighthouses don't use it anymore. The lighthouse keeper was very kind and re-triggered for me the foghorn circuit, which is located underneath the lighthouse and which produces a morse-code sound (PP : Porto Pi) through a large horn situated 1km away at the entrance to the port. 

The 1 minute of sound consists of layers of two clips of different lengths: the foghorn at the Porto Pi port, and a circuit lever which triggers the compressor but which is physically in a remote place from the actual sound. As the foghorn generates the sound in a certain frequency, overlaid self-originated tracks intermittently generate resonant effects and it amplifies itself.
