Sensen - DC

With the upcoming Keith Rowe celebration in Berlin just around the corner, reflecting upon how Prepared Guitar noise crossed cultural boundaries. Pink Floyd in 66/67 a band of the London arts scene. Legend has it that Keith Rowe influenced Syd Barret to do improper things for the guitar that no other Pink Floyd guitarist cared to explore. I found this idea more plausible than Syd being stoned or aggressive -- although both artists might have found they shared a transgressive feeling for how such noises are the thang to challenge the thinking about the thang. While there's nothing in Syd's guitar sound surpassing anything Hendrix hadn't blown through several times with the vitality of ten thousand cats, it's also more complicated to think it through the Keith Rowe perspective. Hendrix's path, in my reading, was, yes, to found his own sound, gain his freedom, but also to destroy the white western exploitation culture with the rage of the slave uprising through the electrified blues and render, as a result, an American problem and treasure. In the last days, Jimi wanted to bring it back home and play deep electro-acoustic blues and rock the studio like CAN influenced by Stockhausen on shrooms. Keith's sound was already detached from folk traditions, more consciously post-modern (self-historicizing, self-contextualizing -- to lay the emotional guitar down, pushed away from the body), and few people really want to deal with that new kind of wilderness he explored in HARSH, where you see shards of what he maybe transmitted to Syd and which Jimi knew very well but never lived to take out of the rock and roll physicality context. Prepared Guitar music doesn't really exist if the guitar is not really involved, though. This track is all about those cross-over moments between the psychedelic movement and fluxus and free improv and indeterminacy. Syd was still in a rock band rooted in the Black Music of the Colonies and then they got rid of him. Noise has maybe messages beyond human aesthetic.

16 TURNTABLES  [for Climate-Walker]

A pelican, living as a fresco on the facade of a house, far from its natural habitat. He dreams of getting away from the traffic, into nature.

This track has a meaning and a raison d'être of its own - but is intended as first part of an asynchronous trio as proposed by the Disquiet Junto Project 0591:

My entry for the KVR forum's One Synth Challenge #171

This time all the sounds are made using Apricot by nakst. BTW it's a CLAP plugin! And to be able to use it I had to try Bitwig Studio for the first time. If you are nerdy enough, here's the technical details about this track:

160 Jahre alt - und noch immer nichts Besseres als Benzin- oder Dieselantrieb? 

Eigentlich ist es ja erstaunlich, dass sich ein solches altes Prinzip wie ein Verbrennungsmotor über 160 Jahren gehalten hat und nicht durch eine andere, bessere Technologie überrundet wurde. Das wirkt reichlich antiquiert: Kolben bewegen sich auf und ab, also Massen müssen beschleunigt und abgebremst werden, ein sehr kompliziertes Wechselspiel mit Ventilen sorgt dafür, dass Kraftstoff und Luft in genau den richtigen Mengen in den Brennraum kommen. Eine technisch ziemlich aufwändige Angelegenheit, Feuer unter Kontrolle zu kriegen und in eine Kraft umzuwandeln. Warum gibt es da noch nichts Besseres? Ein Gespräch mit Motoreningenieur Fritz Indra.

Energiewende: Salto rückwärts in die Kohle 

++ Das war schon ziemlich schaurig-merkwürdig, was sich in dieser Woche auf der sogenannten Weltklimakonferenz in Dubai abspielte: Mit vollen Steuergeldtaschen sind Ampel-Koalitionäre nach Dubai geflogen. Stolz wollten sie der staunenden Welt mit vollem Mund ein Deutschland ohne KKW und Kohlekraftwerke präsentieren, das nur noch mit Windrädern und Sonnenzellen energieversorgt werden soll. Die anderen hörten schweigend zu, sobald die Geldkoffer geleert und hunderte von Millionen Steuereuros verteilt waren, tippten sie sich an Stirn: Plemplem geworden, die Deutschen. Ein Gespräch mit dem ausgewiesenen Energiefachmann Manfred Haferburg: Wo ist die Realität? ++

Text

The ocean, deep blue-green.
What we learn in the middle of the night is that the world makes us flinch. (Michel Serres, The Five Senses: Philosophy of Mingled Bodies)
Sounds an ocean, drinks it in.

Then everything became worse for the wear, damaged, used and used-up and ultimately destroyed.
More and more I made up for what was lost, I slowly improved myself, and I considered myself healed. (Ingeborg Bachmann, Malina)

I found myself trapped in a nightmare, standing alone at the sea. Everyday becoming more and more.
White and yellow and gray and horizonless. (Tove Jansson, The Summer Book)
