The recordings of found and (self-)made human and non-human voices were made in the years between 2010 and 2020: including fieldrecordings of frogs, kids, adults, ports and traffic in Berlin, Kiel, Antsiranana, Dong Mo and Hanoi, various workshop recordings of animated objects and manipulated water and documentations of air- and water-driven sound installations.

An Interview with Cu Cua
Peter Strickmann

10" Vinyl

I went to Hanoi, Vietnam in order to interview Cu Rua about his exhausting momentary situation and his legendary former youth. Cu Rua was a male freshwater softshellturtle of the species rafetus swinhoei. He was ancient and the legend around his brave past is famous all over Vietnam.

On 19 january 2016 he was found dead in his Hoan Kiem Lake in central Hanoi. For that reason, it makes even more sense to publish these underwater-recordings of Cu Rua now. In the depths of his foreign language we are listening to tellings about Cu Ruas 600 year long life: youngster fights against the Chinese Ming, taxonomy and sex in question, the coming extinction of a species, rubber tube biting and patriotic vanities in between the waves.

I sat down next to the noisy moped-rush at the concrete shore of Hoan Kiem Lake and awaited Cu Rua. During some rather cool days of January 2013, i switched on my recorder and dipped my hydrophone in the muddy water of the lake. On the A-side of the record we can now listen to what reached my mic there. On the B-side we find various karaoke-streetrecordings added to the voices of some wonderful vietnamese people I met during the trip. Each of them tell us their personal version of the official legend of Cu Rua and King Le Loi - schoolbook memories, grandparents' stories, bits and parts of free improvisation about a dubious invention mounted on the soft shell of an aged turtle.

Comes with 2-colour offset-printed cover and sleeve with linernotes.

CD Publikation zu der dreit-teiligen Klangkunst-Reihe Dachkammerklang in Ludwigshafen. Kuratiert und initiiert von Julia Katharina Thiemann.

Mit einem Booklet mit Fotos und Texten. Alle Texte wurden von Julia Katharina Thiemann auf einer mechanischen Schreibmaschiene verfasst.

"Ortsspezifische Klanginstallationen, raumbezogene Objekt-Kompositionen und perkussive Handlungen wurden am 6. mai, 27. Mai und 2. September 2018 in der Reihe Dachkammerklang von Janis Elias Müller, Peter Strickmann und Franziska Windisch in einer kleinen, privaten Dachkammer eines Mietshauses präsentiert.

Die Künstler*innen kreierten neue, situativ geprägte Klangarbeiten, die mit Objekten, Bewegung, Handlungen und der Stimme im Raum jeweils eigene akustische Erfahrungen eröffnen. Ihre Arbeiten loten dabei Schnittstellen der Wahrnehmung zwischen Klang, Geräusch, Musik, Installation, Skulptur und Performance aus." (Text: Julia Katharina Thiemann)

c Sämtliche Rechte liegen bei den Künstler*innen Franziska Windisch, Janis Elias Müller, Peter Strickmann und bei der Kuratorin und Autorin Julia Katharina Thiemann.
