Ephemera Box (Letters, postcards Boxset)
Reading Robert Briatte's biography of Paul Bowles, I discovered that his poems, unlike his novels and stories, had not been translated into German. I set to work, got his adress from Pociao, sent Paul Bowles my draft translations, and was invited by him in Tangier, Morocco, in the fall of 1993. In the years that followed, I visited him two or three times a year, not only working on the translation of his poems in exchange with him, but also doing a long interview with him about Gertrude Stein an…

Celebrated Scandinavian experimentalist CM Von Hausswolff pays respect to the great John Cage with this release which includes a homage to Cage’s seminal 4’33”. For his interpretation, the minimalist uses an electric guitar and a faulty amplifier to highlight the finer details that come to the fore in the format. Taking on the godfather of experimentalism is no simple task but the fresh take from Von Hausswolff stops this release falling into any kind of ‘cover version’ category. This is a limit…
