about

"Andrea Parkins and Ignaz Schick met in Brooklyn in March 2011 when the latter performed in a loft space with vocalist/violinist C. Spencer Yeh and drummer Aaron Moore. After the concert, Parkins proposed a collaboration with Schick, resulting in their first duo performance at Berlin's Altes Finanzamt during the following autumn. Parkins' and Schick's musical worlds connected instantly. Each of the artists has developed unique methods for using objects as sonic material. Each has extended the techniques of their primary instruments - Parkins' accordion and Schick's turntable - and both apply refined strategies of electronic treatment to their sound sources. Their music shifts between sensitive micro sounds, playful musique concrète, dense noise and thick layers of drone and feedback. Since 2012, Parkins and Schick have continued their performance collaboration, not only as a duo, but also within small group combinations with Berlin experimentalists such as Oliver Steidle and Achim Kaufmann. This album was recorded in succession of the track order in April 2012 at Altes Finanzamt, Berlin, during a late afternoon studio session."

The album & track titles are taken from a poem & art work by Josef Felix Müller [http://www.jfmueller.ch]:

In den Sümpfen wühlen,
im Moos liegen,
den Mond anbellen,
gegen die Strömung fließen,
den Verstand verlieren,
mit der Nase kreisen,
oval träumen,
abstrakt denken,
das Zentrum treffen,
bis unter die Haut streicheln,
Quallen schauen,
wie ein Vogel zwitschern,
die Traurigkeit wegschmelzen,
den Hügel der Straffheit überqueren,
dem Tier ins Auge sehen,
den Geist im Nebel drehen,
über deinen Kopf schlängeln,
auf den Rücken drehen,
den Bauch der Bäuche kosen,
den Mund ins Auge legen,
die Angst überwinden,
den Atem anhalten,
ineinandergleiten,
durch die Achselhöhlen kriechen,
an der Wunde lecken,
die Dunkelheit erhellen,
wegschieben wie eine Seele,
das Salz Deines Körpers auf der Zunge
