OHR und ERDE: Minimal-meditative Glockenspiel-Installation vom US-Klangkünstler, bei der 80 Glockenspiele mit Roboterarmen bedient wurden - das derartig erzeugte mechanische Klackern & Klopfen vermischt sich mit galerietypisch verhallten metallurgenen Klängen...
kommt inkl. 24-seitigem Büchlein mit Texten und vielen Farbfotos von der Klanginstallation, die Ende 2004 in einer Galerie in Pasadena, Kalifornien stattfand.
“Things have been quiet for Steve Roden, well on the side of releasing CDs as no doubt he's busy with sound installations and paintings. These two new CDs deal with those installations. Something more to look at is the catalogue of 'Ear(th)', which has photographs of the installation and a lot of text. The installation uses 80 glockenspiel bars and robot arms to strike them, using a score made related 'of the earth's movement during an earthquake'. The piece on the CD is the unaltered field recording of the installation recorded in the exhibition space. Here too, but then twice as long as the other CD, the work is of an entire minimalism and without any drama or movements. Designed to be played at a low volume this work, it resembles Christina Kubisch' CDs on Semishigure. Very minimal, almost meditative in approach, this is an even more minimal work than 'Transmissions', and like Kubisch, this works best when played at a soft volume for a day or two - that is if you have the time.” [Vital Weekly]
