Label: Auf Abwegen

伝説的エクスペリメンタルバンドP16.D4の核であり、現在もRLW名義で活動を続ける重鎮Ralf Wehowsky。2013年に記録されていた、ニュージーランドのサウンドアーティストRichard Francisとの長編エレクトロニクス即興がAuf Abwegenより作品化。アナログシンセとラップトップを使い互いが発する音を相互で操作、グッと絞りに絞った冷徹持続音へと仕上げた3パート。途中嵐の様な轟音へと突入する22分の[Piece 1]の構造が面白い。





First collaboration between Ralf Wehowsky (Germany) and Richard Francis (New Zealand)

On a trip from Auckland over Worpswede to Eggenstein Richard Francis visited Ralf Wehowsky on the weekend of September 28th and 29th, 2013. For the recording sessions taking place during these two days Richard used his analogue synth and electronics, while Ralf had a desktop and a laptop for producing digital electronic sounds at hand. For bridging the anatgonistic sound worlds the input of one sound system was fed with the output of the other and vice versa. For this release two of the tracks (Piece 1, Untitled 1) are presented as they were recorded, with only slight pan and volume adjustments. The third track (Piece 3) is composed of fragments of a longer improvisation, time-shifting the contributions of the two artists against each other to constitute a system of non-simultaneity.
