Recorded live at Lothringer 13 as part of “Fewer Ears Than Sounds”, two evenings of readings, soundperformances and recorded audio pieces as part of the exhibition “On Listening”

‘Poltergeist or some scene else’ is an essayistic site-specific broadcast by Yulia Carolin Kothe that takes the Barras Market‘s (Glasgow) syntax of artefacts as a starting point for creating an expanding and ever-evolving tableau of intense, uneasy acousmatic atmospheres. The conspicuous and omniscient narrator takes the listener on 
a rambling walk through the Barras entering private and public spaces, a remote cottage and various ambivalent territories home to disembodied voices and close up traces of life like a wet ring of a coffee cup just plucked from the scene.
  This new piece of radio art is rich and heavy in material. Kothe‘s own electronic compositions are juxtaposed with re-artic-ulated local oral histories, chopping up DIY recordings on cassettes purchased from the Barras Market, and combining with avantgarde German poems by Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven (1874–1927), Thekla Lingen (1866-1931), Karoline von Günderrode (1780-1806) and Anna Ritter (1865–1921).
  Centring the figure of the Poltergeist, Kothe explores the etymological possibilities of the word as a ghost responsible both for unruly physical disturbances and moving objects — ‚Genstände bewegen‘ in German — which could be understood as ‚moving forward with a subject‘, e.g. the suggestion of an unconventional idea. In this sense, the broadcast lingers like a poltergeist, making metaphorical and geographical suggestions then playfully pulling out the chair from underneath you just at the last moment.

Yulia Kothe - Poltergeist Or Some Scene Else

How do artists draw inspiration from urban modernity and technology, or, on the opposite, connect their creative impulse to the forces of nature ? The various pieces connected in these shows reveal a broad spectrum of technical approaches and aesthetics, dispersing sounds in an intimately infinite cosmos of frequencies.

A Ekolali — Totem Mollusca (14:45)
B Tala Drum Corps — tokyo subway (16:06)

Plafond continues, taking center stage after the mother label BAKK ceded. Here, two long-time collaborators, Ekolali, originating from Sweden, and Tala Drum Corps, from the Netherlands, await their returns. The former reappears with a characteristic approach earlier heard on 'Doggerland'. The latter did multiple dance releases yet now debuts for this series, expanding on his stylistic spectrum. 

Despite shared tempo, the energies of the track are each of their own. Pulsating with energetic urgency, Ekolali, towards hypnotic movement, Tala Drum Corps. 'Totem Mollusca' shoots for the sun, like a budding landscape, yellow rays, waterdrops – kraut-inspired yet club-like without seeking a climax. 'tokyo subway' has a marimba-ridden, timeless feel – a clock-ticking, crude atmosphere, as a dream long passed, slowly ascending. 

Known for its two-sided, two-songs format, Plafond offers two artists or artist combinations the freeform room for exploration and elongation of their respective sound and practices. This is the eighth in the series.
