Some musings on this album: 

"Hier und Dort" (eng: Here and There) really wasn't written about anything particular or specific. All three tracks were born out of spontaneous "jams" with no set goals in mind. 
When listening back to them, contrasts between the inner and outer world, the inner dialog and outer perceptions come to my mind. For everything beyond that, you are invited to let your own thoughts and interpretations wander. 

As far as the production goes, all tracks, but especially "Hier" (Here) play with tiny snippets of sounds - derived from organic and synthesized meditations on sound, that have been recorded, cut into small pieces and rearranged - somewhat like a puzzle, trying to find interesting rhythms and tonal relationships and to assemble a coherent picture. 

"Dort" (There) opens up the sound world some more, allowing room for reverb - evoking larger spaces. To me, it feels more like a reaction to something that presents itself from the outside, rather than an introspective. It has a sudden change of perspective at about half-way, but emerges back into that external world. 

"Dazwischen" (In-between) was somewhat of a challenge, because it is derived from a somewhat less-than-perfect 4-track recording, so very little editing or volume changes between the instruments and elements of the track was possible. I liked the original, melancholic nature of the improvisation, so I kept that and played with progressively intricate edits of the whole track, as opposed to single elements.. 

As always, I tried to find a balance between detailed, "macro-editing" and a spontaneous flow as well as an element of rawness, as I feel this is what keeps the life in the music, be it electronic or organic. 

In any case, I very much hope you enjoy these pieces. If you want to share your thoughts, you a more than welcome to - I would love to read/ hear what you think. 

Be safe,

02 DORT

For a long time I’ve wanted to do an episode devoted to the sound works of Kai Althoff. Despite his notoriety as a visual artist, his auditory world remains largely unexplored. He has been working in sound for decades, first releasing albums as part of the post-kosmische group Workshop, and subsequently under many nom-de-plume: Fanal, Ingrid Herm, Orla, and Engelhardt / Seef / Davis, to name a few. From reading an excellent interview with Kai and David Grubbs I Iearned that he always listens to music while painting and that he prefers recording to cassette tape. I reached out and proposed that he record an atelier mix to cassette for us and send it in the mail. He enthusiastically agreed and several weeks later a package arrived, lavishly inscribed, with a cassette wrapped in vintage fabrics along with a touching, hand-written note. It was even scented, subtly, with perfume. This music is assembled with just as much care, an itinerant collage which travels between outlying influences woven together with an ear for restraint, texture, and the ardent craft of song. I hope you enjoy the journey Kai has mapped out for us.
