the stuttgart postfluxus artist albrecht/d. live in kirchheim unter teck on the 19th of july 1981 with the debut performance of his composition "von a - atem anarchia bis z - zen"

and here is an other tape we found in the inheritance of the stuttgart postfluxus artist albrecht/d. who has passed away rather untimely in 2013. it is the debut performance of his composition "von a - atem anarchia bis z - zen" that took place on sunday the 19th of july 1981 at the opening vernissage for his exhibition "collagen an der grenze zum environment / fast 15 000 kilometer dazwischen" at the art gallery kröger in kirchheim unter teck in southwestgermany.
the first 15 minutes of what you are about to be listening to are the recording of the aforementioned performance, followed by some common noise and chatter you would expect visiting a vernissage, interrupted by some harsh noise that albrecht/d. produced with a record player and some other devices, ending in a power cut caused by the end of the tape. additionally you will get a rehearsal room recording of the composition that took place in stuttgart on the 18th of july 1981.
though there is no written evidence about any other musician involved in this performance it is most likely that steffen bremer was there on woodwinds and assorted devices, and probably franz dreyer on bambusflute and shakuhachi. and while listening very closely you might recognize some memberettes of the stuttgart all-girl-group frauenklinik, as well as GAW, der mußikant, my younger brother, and my beautiful self as being part of the audience.
