Rinus van Alebeek – From the life of the marionettes (digital release)

The inspiration for this album came from a request by Marcin Barski. Together with Konrad Gęca he has formed To Się Nie Uda (It Won’t Work), as they describe it ‘part cabaret and part sound-art reconstruction group.’
They wanted to reconstruct Zablocie, a totally gentified district in Krakow. And so they did during the Audio Art Festival in 2021.
Marcin asked for a contribution from my side that they could use during the live transmission of sounds in the district. Visitors could listen to it over the phone while walking around. They could participate by phoning in their reports.

I started working on my piece after they had done the performance.

I simply didn’t have the time to start earlier.

Four Corners of the Night (complete digital release)

“Inexplicably compelling to listen to, although you have to give it some time to make its overall trajectory and shape more or less apparent; it could easily be the most beautiful or the most infuriating thing you’ve heard for weeks.” Ed Pinsent in The Sound Projector

All compositions come from original recordings made on 20/21 June during the shortest night of the year 2011. Recordings were made Pierce Warnecke in a barn in Montagny les Lanches, France, Anton Mobin on a walk in Belleville, Paris, Christoph Limbach on a bicycle ride in Berlin and Rinus van Alebeek on the Museuminsel in Berlin.
