Title:  Andapa - Garten Artist:  Michael Northam; Judith Egger - Various Artists Label:  Edition Graphon Format:  mCD Price:  € 45.00   Mp3 samples: none

Title Description:
Sound substrata of the inner garden. Underground sound wide open. Trees and bushes as a long, sustained hollow music. Birds, butterflies and other animals seen only in sounding forms by the internal eye, entering the night in an ecstatic sleep state, dreaming with the sound of a human hidden light. Leaves with tiny little poems of sound written on it, the drone-flowers of a secret floral language. The grass is just another sonic mantra to lie down, for personal pleasures in an unknown natural dreamscape. An hypnotic mistery that unfolds in the subliminal night chants of the plants.
A cd not just to hear to but also to plant in the cd player, to let its roots grow deep
in the electronic filaments of the equipment and watch patiently to the blossom in
beautiful digital flowers of sound. A small musical herbal. Organic music in the true
sense of the word.

Michael Northam is a musician who represents in a certain way the intellingent side of
experimental music. His conceptual approach to the sound explores in depth the resonance of unusual places or uses the sound of objects or living things in an almost alchemical way. Judith Egger, his collaborator, has been involved with experimental music and performance since a few years. She comes from a visual background and co- founded the no longer active "living score theater", where she explored, stretched and overlapped the bondaries between music, performance and the visual arts.
Together, they composed "andapa", a mcd based on field recordings made at Lac Léman in Geneva. Each one of this limited edition of 50 is a unique piece with etchings handmade by Judith and printed in letterpress.

"andapa" is the first release of Edition Graphon, a new label which strives to connect
experimental visual and sonic forms of expression, both of these elements being equally important to the whole concept.
This mcd is released as a package designed with original prints, including an optional
frame. A collectable piece of art to put on the wall and look at while listening to the
sound.
