Bernhard Wöstheinrich – Materiaal 061︱Live on Galactic Travels™ 2023
Recorded live to 2-track on WDIY’s Space Music Program ‘Galactic Travels™’ in Bethlehem, PA 18015 on April 13, 2023.
This is the recording of an uninterrupted live performance right out of the studio. The music presented here is the mix just like what was going out to the P.A. that night. The quality of the recording may be slightly compromised accordingly.
The Live-on-Air performance at Bill Fox’ Galactic Travels was the kick-off show for the US tour from April 2023. All other performances will be made available in this series further on.

Bernhard Wöstheinrich – Submerging in a Forgotten Pond
Materiaal Series, Part 060
This session is based on a sample set created from recordings of ponds. These sounds were recorded with a very special microphone, designed to capture all those mysterious sounds found in swamps, pools and smaller lakes. This device is capable of picking up all the scratching, hissing and cracking underwater noises, produced by plants, insects and everything else down there, revealing the secrets that go on right in your back yard.

Bernhard Wöstheinrich – Letterpress Soundscapes
Materiaal Series, Part 059

Bernhard Wöstheinrich & Leander Reininghaus – billions of years before the end of the world
Materiaal Series, Part 058
Recording of the live performance by Bernhard Wöstheinrich and Leander Reininghaus on the occasion of the finissage of Christine Kriegerowski and Bernd Riehm’s exhibition “Billions of years before the end of the world, rhapsody for two” at Wolfram Spyra’s Gallery World Wide Window, August 21th, 2022
Leander and Bernhard have picked up the vibes of the detailed, lively, desperately admonishing, but always humorously distanced images by Riehm and Kriegerowski and complemented them musically the with their mesmerising, yet powerful soundscapes, full of atmosphere.
