SAG DOCH AUCH MAL WAS! ODER DAS LUXURIEREN DER BASTARDE

By Hermann Bohlen. "The radio piece, or Hšrspiel, consists of private tape recordings of the sixties and early seventies. At that time, the old fashioned recorders with big reels were widely used among families. They served the same purpose as video does today: to document the development of the kids, dogs and grandparents. Some people also used it as diary or to record anything occurring on the radio which they thought to be important (besides the top-ten). "Sag doch auch mal was!", English for "Say something!" was one of the most common phrases to be found on the recordings. In thrift-stores and fleamarkets Bohlen collected more than 30 hours of material - additional to some twenty hours from his own and friends’ families. In collage- technic, this dirty stuff, the different voices from all over the country, east and west, were arranged to form a big family, portraying a time that for gods sake is over." Born in 1963, Hermann Bohlen is a German sound artist, and radio writer and producer. He is now based in Berlin. His final diploma thesis was on Onomatopoeia in the Chinese language. This record is a classic and we highly recommend you get yourself an original copy on vinyl - visit www.90-prozent-wasser.de #

Immersion, Marc Behrens

Immersion is a multichannel composition with sounds recorded specifically in a historic water reservoir in Berlin. This circular and arched space resonates in a complex way. Bricks, wooden planks and other construction materials were moved through the building, enhancing the particular sound characteristics. Other sounds used in the piece come from recordings of water boilers, as if hinting to the water that was once stored in the building which has by now evaporated, leaving only a remote memory in the void. This live performance of Immersion was recorded at ‘No ‘Real’ Nuts, No Apples, No Garlic’, presented by Entr’acte and Odradek at Netwerk Centre for Contemporary Art, Aalst, Belgium, October 2007. Marc Behrens is a sound artist based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. He will be performing live this Sunday November 11 as a part of Atlantic Waves 2007 at the ICA, London. #
