1. EMERGE – chuckle
Klangquellen: Stimmen*
“chuckle” ist Englisch und bedeutet “kichern”. Das Stück heißt so, weil EMERGE dafür Lachen und Geräusche bearbeitet hat, die beim Blockflöten-Workshop aufgenommen wurden.
2. GERALD FIEBIG – Recorded Recorders
A. Schneesturm und Vogelschwarm
B. Elefantenkarawane und Pferderennen
C. Ballon-Zerplatzen und Chor der Katzen
Klangquellen: Blockflöten*
“Recorder” kann im Englischen „Blockflöte“ und „Aufnahmegerät“ heißen. Der Titel bedeutet also „Aufgenommene Blockflöten“, und genau daraus besteht auch das Stück.

For a concert supporting DUO RECORDRONIK, who combine recorders with electronics, EMERGE and Gerald Fiebig composed several pieces that are also based on the sounds of recorders.
The instruments were played by elementary school children at a workshop conducted by Elisabeth Haselberger, who forms DUO RECORDRONIK with Petra Wurz.
Gerald Fiebig's three-part piece "Recorder Recorders" is a collage of sequences played by the children (from classes 2b, 4a, and 4b of Grundschule Vor dem Roten Tor elementary school in Augsburg - hence the album title). No treatments were used - the composition showcases the experimental playing techniques the young recorderists learned during the workshop. EMERGE's piece "chuckle" tackles the workshop recordings in a different way: using no recorder sounds, but everything else recorded in the classroom - speech, laughter, giggling, and chuckles (!) -, he creates a voice/noise collage highly reminiscent of radiophonic Ars Acustica. A collaborative piece by EMERGE and Gerald Fiebig concludes the album. Here, both their tracks are processed to form a dense dronescape that makes the connection to other aspects of the work of both artists.

Original project in collaboration between Emerge and Gerald Fiebig. 3 album tracks, exploring various sound directions, including a track (the second one), based on children playing instruments in experimental way. But, in my opinion the best part of release is the third track, where artists work on drone ambient territories with which they are really confident.

A very different Fog Piece. A wonderfully evocative field recording of sea water and foghorns with what sounds like harmonium and a little flute. Quiet and contemplative. David Kellett
