Live recording of my set at StromWandlungSchall IV / Altes Schlachthaus Mosbach.

An improvisation on Paetzold contrabass recorder, processed by a Pure Data patch, together with a pre-recording of Ciat-Lonbarde Peterlin, table top guitar, samples of bells, and processed voice.

The piece is intended as a walk through a landscape of sounds, reflecting on the different meanings of "Wandlung" (transition/transformation/transfiguration/transsubstantiation).

Huge thanks to Thomas Breuer @vactrolog for organizing this fantastic event which showed the wealth of positions in electronic music!

The Assignment: „Dense Fog Advisory“ is your band’s name; now record something.

For me, that band name requires heavy guitar and some heavy metal roaring lead voice. As that is not exactly what i am usually into, here is an intro for the track demanded in the assignment.

Star above the peak - a silk worm-breeding village silently asleep

by: Mizuhara Shuoshi

Mizuhara Shuoshi was a 20th century Japanese poet. Shuoshi rebelled against the principles of emotional detachment in haiku, which he thought limited his ability to emotionally express himself through poetry: he started a magazine called Staggerbush which focused on a more romantic, lyrical type of haiku.
