Underwater recordings by Claudia van Hasselt 
On-board Ferryboat recordings by Nicolas Wiese
Composed and rough mix by Nicolas Wiese & Claudia van Hasselt
Final mix by Ferdinand Breil
Mastered by Cedrik Fermont

While the humans indulge in duty-free consumption and other distractions on board, the ferryboat's motor brings pandemonium to the lifeforms underneath.
The ice sluggishly rears up, back and forth, against the unavoidable. 

Underwater recordings were taken at sjökvateret (sea quarter) and ferry harbor Mariehamn. Voice snippet: Tony Cederberg, marine biologist on Åland.
This version appears on a limited 7" box set edition, on the occasion of the exhibition BALTIC MULTIVERSE (Neues Kunsthaus Ahrenshoop and Akademie der Künste Berlin, summer 2023)

COLD CRUSH
An Epitaph out of Speech Particles

BROADCAST: 25th May '015 - 12:05am - http://dradio.de

An obituary for the 1980s and for the pioneering era of rap music.
Speech recordings as the sole foundation of multiple transformations.
Juxtapositions of history fragments, reconstructed music and a meta level reflecting language and semiotic systems.

Making use of an extensive data bank of (German language) speech particles, 'cover versions' of relevant HipHop classics have been derived – including passages of the original English lyrics.

Speech: Dietmar Ruettiger, Petra Kuebert, Olaf Oelstrom, Kristin Moeller
Scratches: DJ R.A.W.

Concept, text, sound design, construction, arrangement, mix: Nicolas Wiese

Production: Deutschlandradio Kultur 2013/2014/2015

COLD CRUSH - ein Epitaph aus Sprachpartikeln

Ein Nachruf auf die 1980er Jahre und auf die Pionierzeit der Rap-Musik.

Vier Stimmen rekapitulieren das vorletzte Jahrzehnt des vergangenen Jahrhunderts – aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln: zeitgeschichtlich, musikjournalistisch, kommunikationstheoretisch und persönlich.
Aus den Sprachaufnahmen wurden verschiedenartige elektroakustische Transformationen generiert, die in Verbindung mit den verständlichen Ausgangs-Textpassagen eine vielschichtige Sprach-Sound-Komposition bilden.
Es entfaltet sich eine chronologische Gegenüberstellung zwischen dem globalen Zeitgeschehen der 80er Jahre, einer kleinen Historie der HipHop-Kultur während ihres internationalen Durchbruchs, und einer Meta-Ebene der Reflektion über Sprache und Zeichensysteme an sich. 
Dabei wird für den Hörer teilweise nachvollziehbar, wie aus einzelnen Text- und Wort-Fragmenten abstrakte Klangebenen entstehen, teilweise bleiben die Klang-Prozesse opak.
In minutiöser Montage-Kleinstarbeit, mit Hilfe umfangreicher Sound-Partikel-Datenbanken, wurden kurze 'Cover-Versionen' relevanter Rap-Musikstücke der 80er Jahre aus den Sprachverfremdungen erstellt und in die Gesamtkomposition eingebettet; Beats, Scratches und rhythmische Arrangements erklingen, wie auch englischsprachige Rap-Textpassagen – alles ausschließlich auf Grundlage der deutschsprachigen Ursprungs-Aufnahmen.

Sprecher: Dietmar Rüttiger, Petra Kübert, Olaf Oelstrom, Kristin Möller
Scratches: DJ R.A.W.
