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.

New! Eric Desjeux – Foofi

Eric Desjeux is a filmmaker and a documentarist. He uses a different name for his sonic productions. A person of many talents, he is incredibly active in the world of non-academic experimental music. He is also an insatiable traveller.

Knowing this, I have asked him to compile a work that was a result of his travels and to approach the release as a filmmaker rather than a sound artist.

Foofi is a mixture of documentary and personal journal. Interviews (in french) tell tales about people who went away and about people who stayed. The heat and the big continent of Africa are almost palpable.
