Label: Gruenrekorder - Gruen181

旧修道院内での物音作、ケージのカートリッジ・ミュージック的録音等、毎回面白いコンセプチュアル・ワークスを届けてくれるGregory Büttner。Gruenrekorderからの久々のCDタイトルは、1930年代に製造された水面の氷を割りながら進む"砕氷船"内部にコンタクトマイクを仕込んだ物音インダストリアル。もうドコの部分にマイクを仕込んでも面白い音が聞けるのでは？と思える程に、とにかくクールでマシニックな無骨反復が聴けます。スリーブにプリントされた写真も素晴らしい。



Voll.Halb.Langsam.Halt“ is based on contact mic recordings, which I recorded on an old steamboat, an ice-breaker from the 1930. I had the chance to take a trip on the ship from Rostock to Rügen over the Baltic Sea in 2010. The body of the ship is completely built from metal, so it is a big resonant room which sounds very different on each spot which I put my contact mics on (I used two contact mics, so I could record in stereo). I walked around the ship, placing my mics on different areas of the ship and also directly on parts of the steam engine, which is still fired by coal. For the composition I only used the pure recordings without additional sound manipulations, only juxtapositions, transitions and cuts.
