  erikm + christian fennesz
  The performance begins with what sounds like an uncontrolled
  electrical signal, its voltage almost certainly lethal. The signal
  pulses menacingly, its rhythm quickly mutating. There are metallic
  overtones and an accompanying percussive sound, as if something were
  pounding upon an electric guitar’s strings. >>>

  Martin Brandlmayr : Drums
  6 tracks : CD edition
  Opening with an Apocalypse — a dis-covering where everything is assembled anew, where a snare drum gets dismembered. The drums instantly reanimate into a new body without organs, opening a breach, opening a space. The drummer lifts his sticks and hits ; a vertical landscape emerges inbetween, unidentified as it first breaks into the ears, as some atmospheric depression : (…)

  eRikm ’Luc Ferrari’ & Thomas Lhen
  Music as texture - once that leap is made, once the notion is accepted (to quote John Cage) that everything is music (and vice versa), the ear can readily embrace sounds not knit out of the usual fabric of melody, harmony or rhythm. Everything is not only music, but everything is permitted — "music" has been generated by household objects, electronically-powered equipment, the basic human voice, noises sampled, oversampled and resampled ad infinitum. (…)

  eRikm & Luc Ferrari
  When the sun set on April 1st 2011 I heard through the windows of my house
  the repetitive song of a night bird. « Madeleine » brought me immediately back
  to Luc Ferrari’s electroacoustic piece « Presque Rien N° 2 ».
  I became curious about comparing the bird that was officiating in the garden
  of Cap15 (in the North area of Marseille) with the bird of « Presque Rien ».
  My curiosity triggered the desire to play Luc’s piece in the acoustic space
  of my house. With (…)

  Luc Ferrari & erikm
  Winner of the « In memoriam » award of the « Académie Charles Cros » 2005, "Archives sauvées des Eaux" represents the encounter between a pioneer of concrete music, who died of late, and a live sound’s manipulator. In the last six years, Luc Ferrari worked on a series of compositions to explore, in every direction, the totality of the concepts he experimented since the beginning of his work in the middle 50’s and this CD is a great evidence of those. The idea raised (…)

  Looking at the whole of a filmstrip, one can see the entire, sequential destiny, from start to finish. A media so inexorably linked to time is completely, unabashedly frozen and motionless. In the seemingly impotent filmstrip there is freedom from temporality in a temporal medium – all is subject to alteration, reversals and invisible splices. Music holds no such luxury.>>>
