soundcultures raising a ruckus: 61 very different tracks found on the points of rupture and the connecting lines between art and music: germany 2000 and 2003

art and sound and so und art: the 2002 catalogue of the künstlerhaus (house of artists) in bremen documenting amongst many other things a cd with 38 tracks of raw material for the performance "krach schlagen" (raising a ruckus) by jeanne van heeswijk and assorted, associated and unanonymous bremen artists and f(r)iends that was executed in november and december 2000, and the 2003 book soundcultures compiling essays on minimal sounds, glitch art, mille plateaux and electronic(all) music accompaniced by a 3"-cd with 22 very short tracks.

though both the books and the artists are not connected in any way except for their longtallshortyness i thought it was a nice idea to have all those 60 tracks (and graftagedered by a 2003 example of my own work) on one cd to play the with shuffle and repeat. so this is what you get in the download-rar way down below: 61 very different very short tracks and a lot of scans and photos.

let's go-go:

in the year 2000 the dutch artist jeanne van heeswijk invited a whole lot of bremen artists and friends to contribute some very short noise to her performance "krach schlagen" (raising a ruckus). all those very different tracks (free jazz, hip hop, swing, pop etc) confronted the unprepared visitor simultaneously and at a veryvery high volume. an in-deep description of the performance can be found on jeanne's page. what you get here is the raw material sent in by the contributing artists, plus a way-too-short 4-minute-example of how it all came true (track 38). there is only very few additional information to be found on the artists involved, but at least i can tell you that mister volquartz mentioned in track 36 is indeed ove volquartz from the kraut legend annexus quam.

instant awareness, clicks and cuts, deterritorialization, alignment pacts and the sensibillyties of powerlessness: when suhrkamp collected these essays on about electronicould musick in 2003 they took no consideratation on in intelligibillyties in ernie way and that's the way these overinellectualized postkrautnerds sound like and that's a lot of fun. sometimes at least. some additional information on the artists involved can be found on discogs, but you won't get to heaven on the autobahn.
