Title Description:
Voice Crack and their cracked everyday electronics have been out there for
over 25 years, The Swiss duo Andi Guhl and Norbert Mšslang, a.k.a. Voice
Crack searched always cooperation with other artists: there have been live
recordings with GŸnter MŸller, Jim O'Rourke, Eric M, JŽrome Noetinger and
Otomo Yoshihide, among many others. Their music is most fully expressed in
real-time live events, where an audience can watch the process unfold, and
their tables piled with equipment put to use. "Ba Kagpja" is a recording of
one such event, and preserves much of the magic Guhl and Moslang shared with
Portuguese musician Carlos Zingaro at Oporto's Co-Lab Festival, that night
in 2001. Although we miss the important visual element, we can picture the
two Swiss artists and their microchips as a pair of experimental scientists
in their laboratory. Zingaro's violin -- the only traditional musical
instrument in this recording -- interacts with his laptop computer, which
captures and manipulates the sound elements he and his fellow musicians
produce.
