Title Description:
Gruenrekorder examines the possibilities of musical perception in the fields of sound, aesthetics and society. This compilation combines raw, uncut and cut field recordings with electronic, instrumental and material arrangements. Two modes of composition seem to oppose each other: Clippings from reality versus organized sound. What diffe-rence does it make?

Evidently it is manÕs need for order that presupposes or seeks order in natural processes, which he or she perceives. Order and disorder (chaos) form a seemingly "natural" dichotomy; still, upon closer scrutiny, one will find that, between the two, there exists less of a clear boundary than a variety of processes shifting in both directions. The same applies to the related concepts of music and noise.

From the beginning of the 20th century on, modern composition focused upon the immanent qualities of sound material. In order to achieve a non-syntactic structure, many composers used the mathematical patterns of nature: fibonacci series, the golden section, fractals, serial permutation, transformation formulas, magic squares and aleatorics. The emergence of noise-music and environmental taping mirrored the need to reflect upon the increasing dissociation within Western civilization, and to operate with music, which suggests an anti-hierarchical organization of sound.
