Zimoun  Guitar Studies I   Favoriting Guitar Studies I​-​III  Room40  From Zimoun With the Guitar Studies series I’ve dealt solely with noises and sounds produced by guitars. Partly I played the guitars by hand in a more conventional way, but more often I prepared them, or activated them by using small DC motors. I used various microphones for the recordings, as well as the loose contact of a pickup and many different amps; from a small toy amp that was partially defective to a beautiful Magnatone amp with analogue tremolo from the sixties and an old Fender Amp I bought together with my first guitar when I was 10 years old. I also played recorded sounds back in different environments, for example inside a cardboard tube or in different rooms with various sizes, and then recorded them again. This way I added natural resonate and spatiality to the sounds. I also created a distorted sounds by sending the signal of the guitar to a naked speaker membrane lying on the table, and then put some sand on the membrane itself. The friction between the membrane and the sand then created various forms of distortion. I was trying to test various processes of iteration to discover how transformed the guitar might become. I did not work with loops in any of the compositions. For each layer in each piece, I recorded whatever I was exploring over the whole period of about an hour. In this way, I put together countless hours of sounds. Through the almost endless overlaying and long recording takes, I have tried to achieve a kind of liveliness, even if at the same time no major changes happen in the composition. It’s never exactly the same, but never going somewhere else either. In that sense these compositions also have a strong sculptural component. After this process, I started working on the microstructures of the recordings. For example, I recorded slow equalizer shifts in some of these tracks over the whole period of time. I also played these live via various controllers and analogue equalizers. This approach allowed the individual frequencies to become more present over long periods of time or mix with others. Figuratively speaking, this is similar to using a lamp (or various lamps) to illuminate a sculpture from different perspectives, or to create slow changes in light, which affects our perception of the sculpture. At different sonic stages, this can also provoke additional psychoacoustic phenomena. Through these methods I have tried to create a complexity in the microstructures of the sounds and their evolutions. All three compositions last about an hour each. Digitally, they are released in their full length, while the CD contains shortened versions. credits released May 6, 2022 Written and composed by Zimoun Mixed by Björn Meyer and Zimoun Mastered by Lawrence English at Negative Space.

Daniela Fromberg & Stefan Roigk  Part One   Favoriting Unfamiliar Home  Edition Telemark  Daniela Fromberg and Stefan Roigk are multidisciplinary artists working at the borders between acousmatic sound collages, sculptures, installations and graphical scores, often combining different types of media into one single composition. Many of their works deal with fragments of everyday life that are presented in narrative stage-like installations. One such work is "Unfamiliar Home" which began life in 2012 when the house the artists live in got renovated as part of a gentrification process in the Prenzlauer Berg district of Berlin. What used to be their home turned into an estranged hostile place that they were forced to inhabitate while the wooden windows were wrecked, the roof stripped, all plumbing ripped out and the whole 5-story building blindfolded in construction foil. During two years of living on a permanent construction site, the artists collected 400 hours of audio recordings of that novel sonic experience, out of which they formed a 12-channel mixed media installation with a sculpture made out of vintage wooden window sashes. The installation "Unfamiliar Home" was presented at Ausland, Berlin in December 2018. This LP mix merges the original sound collage with on-site recordings of the installation. Sound sources: Tremors, hollow scratching, resonating gas-heaters, droning jackhammers, crumbling ceiling plaster, wind, chimney sweeping, blow torches, rustling plastic cover, elevator buzzing, dismantling of the scaffolding. "The ephemeral sound of an urban Berlin – too soon to be history, when all vintage construction materials have fallen prey to real estate funds." (Daniela Fromberg & Stefan Roigk) Edition of 200 with full-color outer sleeve, inner sleeve and 3 LP-sized inserts with photos of the installation.
