More Info

Zum Weihnachtsfest 2003 erschien in der (Anti)-Xmass-7"-Reihe von Meeuw Muzak eine kleine wahnsinnige Single von RALF WEHOWSKY mit Bearbeitungen von IHR KINDERLEIN KOMMET, basierend auf Original-Aufnahmen des RLW-Töchterchens Sonja. Dies führte dann sukzessive zu weiteren Bearbeitungen anderer Klangforscher (und zur RLW-CD "I.K.K.-Purpur" auf SIRR) und einem sehr langen (34.30min) Stück des italienischen Bassisten DOMENICO SCIAJNO, welches hier verewigt ist. SCIAJNO hat das Material bis zur Unkenntnlichkeit auseinandergenommen und ein spannendes Geräuschmusikstück kreiert, welches durch stete Wechsel der "Weite" der Klangräume, von ganz nahen konkreten granularen Sounds bis hin zu weitflächigen dreidimensionalen Hallen, besticht.
RLW führt in der nachfolgenden Bearbeitungen das ganze noch weiter, wenn er sich selbst bei der Bearbeitung des Stückes im Studio aufnimmt und dieses wieder einarbeitet - einen endlosen Zirkel von Rückbezüglichkeit schaffend. Seine 22 Minuten (in 3 Teilen und mit einem Schlussteil) präsentieren feinste "RLW"sche konkret-Atmosphären mit unglaublichem Detailreichtum, das gebanntes Lauschen fast erzwingt.
Wieder ein Geniestreich von einem von Deutschlands kreativsten Klangbastler, der nie ohne hintersinnige Konzepte agiert ! TIP !


"A work is never finished. Last week we noted that the 'self-remix' by Norbert Möslang that is an act that is hardly done these days, but that Ralf Wehowsky makes this stock trade and takes matters always further. This new CD with Domenico Scianjo is another aspect of life started with the release of his Christmas 7" for Meeuw (which is dutch and not belgium, as its wrongly noted on the cover) and that was recently continued with a CD on Sirr-ecords. On that CD, various composers take their hands on the original 7" (which was composed by Christoph Schmid in 1794 and sun by Wehowsky's daughter) material, but perhaps the piece that Domineco Scianjo was either too long or it arrived too late? His piece is thirty-four minutes and is entirely made with self-made Max/msp patches, which transform the original sounds into a big electro-acoustic cloud of sound. None of the original is to be recognized here. Scianjo recommends headphones here and normally I wouldn't bother with that, but I must admit that the stereo field is wide apart, which, played with headphones adds a rather hallucinatory effect to the piece. It moves away from Scianjo's previous noise related works into the world of serious, almost academic sounding pieces. As such it's one of the best pieces I heard from him. Wehowsky of course is also present here with another piece, 'based on sound fragments from I.Dk.Sk, a recording of my myself sitting in the studio and working on the piece, plus some new transformations of Sonja's original take'. This piece is shorter and focusses more on RLW's recent interest of drone like material, that is of course RLW's private version of drone music. Sounds are clustered together until they form densely patterns, of sound blocks that glide together until the collide onto eachother and they start moving in separate directions. It's drone music that is based on collage methods, but that form a homogeneity through the piece. A captivating piece with a funny coda at the end." [FdW / Vital Weekly]
