about

"In preparation for the 3rd edition of FAM-Festival (Festival für Andere Musik) in 2000 at Staatsbank Berlin Ignaz Schick commissioned a new electro-acoustic quartet consisting of Andrea Ermke, Annette Krebs, Andrea Neumann and Schick himself. The combination was evident as the selected musicians were at the time four of the most uncompromising and significant „electronic“ players of the still young Berlin Echtzeitmusik scene. All four are highly individual and innovative instrumentalists who were researching unique sonic materials working primarily with object sounds and using amongst others strong amplification, everyday objects, field recordings, feedback, mixing desk noise and other unusual sources as musical material. The four were already interacting in various group constellations and were quite familiar with each others approaches as they had been rehearsing and researching together since around 1996/1997 (i.e. in Rotophormen, Petit Pale, Cox Orange, Ananax, Roananax, RHO, …).
The music selected for this album is the first unedited meeting (first day) of a three day rehearsal period in January 2000 at Andrea Neumann’s house. The quartet only performed two concerts and disbanded short after. Except for Andrea Ermke the rest of the group merged into the more known formation „Phosphor“ later in the same year. The music of this quartet displays a crisp and crunchy collage of electro-acoustic material and a quite structured form with a sonic palette ranging from small sounds to harsh white noise and piercing sine waves. This recording also shows that the aesthetics of the early Berlin Echtzeit sound was way less „minimal“ or „reductionist“ than some people want to make you believe today."
