AUTECHRE

‚Drifting through the haze, one might decide to focus on the garden’s shed’ is a 56-minute radiophonic piece in which the listener can encounter an assemblage of tools in a shed or an analysis of a square metre's vegetation.
 
As guests in this evolving sonic landscape, we navigate through deconstructed moods, personal memories, fractured voices, and field recordings harvested during a residency stay in a private garden somewhere in West Cork. Each step unveils a new facet of the garden's array as we meander amidst the lush lawn and traverse the acoustic tunnel system.
 
Yulia’s collaboration with the local gardeners – Ralph Ferguson, Johann Gardener, Chris Mac Mahan, Bruv James Slash&Burn – informs the exploration, as they dig out, cultivate and display stories ranging from the eerie to the tender, the space between presence and absence, engine sounds, poems and coffee-filled cups.

… with special thanks to the gardeners Ralph Ferguson, Johann Gardener, Chris Mac Mahan, Bruv James Slash&Burn, radiophrenia, the Crespo Foundation (Ulrike Crespo), Maria Kothe, Wolfgang Kothe, Lisa Fabian for joint jam sessions and to Marcus Maeder for providing me with soil recordings of the garden.

Drifting through the haze, one might decide to focus on the garden’s shed

Summer is at its halfway and here Skupina & Mappa bring you another palette of new music from the other side of Europe. 

The opening track by PFC Timur Dzhafarov, recorded near the frontlines at Bakhmut reminds us that there is still a war against humanity going on, where brave Ukrainians are fighting for our freedom. 

Chains by Svitlana Nianio and Tom James Scott blends a delicate collection of intimated piano compositions. Saša Spačal uses sonification to explore the biological processes of human intervention due to nitrogen fertilisation. 

Lucia Vítková takes us into the late warm summer evenings of southern Slovakia. On the contrary, Zaumne invites us to dreamscapes of which fragments show up here and there in tracks drenched in weary pop sunk in the elegance of surrealism.

Yulia Carolin Kothe w/ David Dale Gallery (8/10/23)

Poltergeist or some scene else is an essayistic site-specific broadcast by Yulia Carolin Kothe that takes the Barras market's 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 commission for David Dale Gallery on Clyde Built Radio is rich and heavy in material. Kothe re-articulates 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), Helga Goetze (1922–2008), and Anna Ritter (1865–1921). Kothe's own electronic compositions are juxtaposed with songs by musicians who also rearticulate oral histories in their practices, such as AGF aka poemproducer, Michaela Meise, Martyn Bennett (often with Sheila Stewart).

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 | Julia Carolin Kothe is an artist working between Glasgow and Frankfurt am Main. Her practice moves between sculpture, film, sound, writing, installation and performance, often responding to archival material, feminist theory and personal and oral histories. Through forensic expansion of these materials, Kothe creates new sites, both digital and physical, glitching fictional or often partially-remembered environments that seek to configure new relational and temporal experiences. She regularly works collaboratively, recently undertaking a residency at CCA Creative Lab with Lisa Fabian exploring uncatalogued recorded material from the CCA and Third Eye Centre archives.

Recent works have been shown at Neuer Kunstverein Mittelrhein, Neuwied (2023), French Street, Glasgow (2023), Rosa Stern, Munich (2022), Kunsthalle Mainz (2021), Queens Street Studios, Belfast (2021), POKY - Institute of Contemporary Art, Mainz (2020), ATLETIKA Gallery, Vilnius (2020), mañana bold, Offenbach/Main (2019) and Frankfurter Kunstverein (2018). She has participated in residencies at Glenkeen Garden Residency, Crespo Foundation in Frankfurt am Main and West Cork, Ireland (2023) and Hospitalfield, Arbroath (2021/22). Kothe has completed Masters degrees at both Glasgow School of Art and Kunsthochschule Mainz.
