Name: Crumbling Walls; Inch by Inch, Row by Row by Wilhelm Matthies
Duration: 3 min 25 s
Description: Processed improvisation using the Kokeka and Logic Pro 9.

such sound...you have nice listening skills..great

@kamikuma: thanks for listening and for leaving specific comments. The subtle percussion that you heard may be plastic bags that I crumpled and uncrumpled at different rates, then time stretched a bit. I am a fan of using any sound source to make music!

Amazing sound! So many beautiful textures!
Walking in a desert with no prospects, and a big sun on head... my feeling! 

I like your work very much, Wilhelm - peace from Bavaria, Axel

very interesting sounds Wilhelm. Could you describe your process in a few words? are these field recordings mixed with violin and stuff?

Inspired by this text by Jack Seiei

Verse 1: In a world devoid of strife,
No borders, no chains, just life,
Screams of freedom pierce the night,
Imagine chaos, unleash the fight!
Chorus: Imagine all the souls in rage,
No illusions, break the cage,
Living in a darkened dream,
All united, hear the scream!
Verse 2: No possessions, all is shared,
In the shadows, none are spared,
Hordes of fury, rise as one,
Together in the battle won!
Chorus: Imagine all the souls in rage,
No illusions, break the cage,
Living in a darkened dream,
All united, hear the scream!
Bridge: Shatter silence, let it roar,
In the ashes, we’ll explore,
Together in this raging storm,
A vision new, a world reborn!

The Thing in my Head Smiled

Caligo Paean is a 1 hour long sound piece installed on river front property in the town of Franklin, Tasmania as part of the exhibition "When The Fog Clears". It formed part of the Ten Days on The Island Festival March 2025. The intro features the Nocefresca Choir - an impromptu group formed of artist residents I met in Sardinia in 2024. The group (none of us singers) were asked to vocalise in an ancient roman antechamber on a field trip by Sardinian Composer Gaia Aloisi. I recorded it on my zoom for hopeful future use - and here it is making up the intro to this 'song of praise' to the goddess of fog, mystery and chaos. 
The work was installed in several locations across the property including a stack of subs under an old bus, in the main exhibition space and in an abandoned shed some 40 metres from the main area (pictured). The speakers were tuned quite differently depending on their location and the sound was not delay corrected with the result of each mini-installation merging with each other in odd sonic ways  - kind of calling the listener from one spot to another. The the work features field recordings, percussion, piano, bass guitar and Intonarumori as well as this special one off choir : ) 
Big thanks to everyone involved!!
Official press release below. 
Every day, the mists of the Huon Valley perform a seductive dance, gently obscuring and revealing contours of the fertile land and waters. Situated in The Watershed Franklin, When The Fog Clears features six artists from lutruwita / Tasmania exploring the region’s iconic mists through a variety of mediums including installation, sculpture, illustration, sound, and video. 

Developed exclusively for Franklin, this exhibit extends from the waterfront itself into the chambers, kilns, and rafters of the shed, inviting visitors to consider fog as an atmosphere that can cloak us in unexpected ways.

Featuring:
Amber Koroluk-Stephenson
Nadège Phillipe Janon
Joshua Santospirito
Rosie Hastie
Mat Ward
Ursula Woods

When The Fog Clears is curated by Loren Kronemyer and Produced by Constance ARI

This project is supported by Arts Tasmania and presented in partnership with Ten Days on the Island.
