NNOI#1 Split
Edition of 300 copies, gatefold sleeve. These two well-known Hamburg cook-artists have been stirring in the same pots for 25 years - only! with different spoons. One, the young man, forces his whisk into the sweetest dishes & conjures up delicious dishes - even from the spoiled remains of fish - for the thousands and thousands of hungry mouths. The other, the old gurnard, first pushes his wooden spoon into the humming depths of a beehive to the end of the stem, before enraptured dragging it thr…

Adagios From The Underground
In the Understage area of the Alexandra Trianti Hall, the musical saw in the hands of Nikos Giousef, and accompanied by piano, samplers and analog synthesizers, is transformed into a voice. 'An otherworldly child's voice', 'a Siren's voice' or 'a castrato voice', as it has been described, it easily climbs to tonic heights that the human voice can only reach with great effort. The pieces chosen for the program reflect this criterion, with works such as the aria 'Erbarme Dich, Mein Gott' from the …

Anthology of American Pop Music
Six great pop standards remembered: five pop songs are dissected by sampler, stretched, compressed, and re-collaged. In this way, their identity is lost. What remains is a vague concreteness: flashes of déjà vu and remote echoes that evoke the original. GES (Gesellschaft zur Emanzipation des Samples) active members: Helmut Schmidt, Jan Jelinek Founded: 2009 Headquarters: Federal Court of Justice, Karlsruhe, Germany.
From the GES Glossary:
Sampling: Compositional practice whereby recorded music i…
Animal Electrique
In retrospection it seems significant that Reinhold Friedl and Eryck Abecassis met for the first time in Marseille, a brute and operatic melting pot of cultures and sounds and noises. The idea of a common project came up, but it took almost ten years to be realized. Finally, François Bonnet (GRM artistic director) supported enthusiastically the collaboration and invited the two composer-performer to the Akousma Festival 2019 at Radio France in Paris.
Intense rehearsal periods in Vienna and at la…
