totstellen - NAGEL UND KOPF.mp3
this piece was recorded for the "KOPF UND NAGEL" 2x 10 min tape-compilation in 2002. RECORDINGS FOR THE SUMMER asked four projects to contribute a five minute track made with the dogma of no filtering or other effects. the sounds should have been based on the act of destruction.i recorded different sounds mostly in an abadoned office building; the crushing of neon tubes, the ripping of cardboard boxes, the break and entering into locked doors, shortcircuits wich have lead to the destruction of the aircondition system, the effect of an axe to a working tv set, and the sound of aerosolpaint on huge windows....the following text was printed on my part of the inlay:

auszug aus dem beiheft:
"wenn die stimme versagt oder kein gehoer
findet, bleibt als antwort auf die mich
zermuerbende struktur
kaum mehr als der zerstoererische akt...
die zeichen meiner innenwelt.
kratzer, splitter, risse
unbrauchbar ge(gen)macht...."

excerpt from the booklet:
"if the voice fails or won't find an ear
the destructive act is the only answer
i can give to the structure wich grinds me...
the signs of my inside.
scratches, splinters, cracks
(made) unuseable against /for force..."
