Reichenhall – Muschelkalk

Muschelkalk, which is the German word for shell-bearing limestone, is formed by the processes of deposition and solidification of shells, skeletons or calcareous residues of creatures that formerly lived in salty and fresh water areas millions of years ago.

On a rattling conveyor belt, the combine for self-referencial music recycling from Berlin-Kreuzberg, Reichenhall, hauls the debris from the past into the present day and creates a groovy distillate from it.

The artwork of the cover depicts a disused industrial site in Rüdersdorf near Berlin, where shell limestone deposits were processed.

Bernhard Wöstheinrich – Letterpress Soundscapes

Materiaal Series, Part 059

Music for the opening of the exhibition titled “Weil es wirklich wichtig ist” (“Because it really matters”) by Manfred Makowski, which took place at the house of the county council Gütersloh, October 27, 2022.

The main subject of this exhibition were historical methods of printing. Manfred has made it his duty to preserve these techniques and to work creatively with them. Hence this present music session includes sounds and noises from various letterpress machines and other ambient sounds from printing plants and the like.

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.

centrozoon – 217 release series


The complete edition

In November 2016 centrozoon, consisting of Markus Reuter and myself, went on a 20th anniversary tour to the US.
On this tour we were mixing our space music and experimental electronica in varying ratios, depending on the nature of the context we were performing in.
Having started to perform together in 1996, this series of concerts is a personal celebration of a long-term artistic collaboration.

We recorded each of those performances and we are making them available in our 217 series releases.

George Bley, or tour manager, driver and jack-of-all-trades, wrote down a few lines of his very personal reflections for each evening & release.

These recordings are unedited and the mix is just like what was going out to the P.A. that night. That might include clicks and digital dropouts.
