Reichenhall – Propane & Champagne

Like a merry-go-round, the sound pieces repeat on a rotating principle.
Everything spins and twists like a bunch of amusement rides.
Together they form a sonic backdrop to a fairground of curiosities. The undulating movement of the chain carousel can be seen from afar.
Above this scenery, pilots experiment with self-crafted flying vehicles.
Acrobats, ventriloquists and bear tamers are in ecstasy as the sound of engines, sonic booms and rides mix. Balloonists rise for the first time. The dance begins.

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.
