Title Description:
DER MICHEL UND DER DOM (CD compilation by Gruenrekorder) This compilation deals with field recordings made in Hamburg, Germany and connects a church (the St. Michaelis) and a funfair, the 'Hamburger Dom'. These field recordings were handed out to ten different artists with the question to 'rework and remix' these recordings into something new. From the ten artists I only recognized a few, like Philip Samartzis (whom is the only non-German, I think), Asmus Tietchens, Stefan Funk, Gregory BŸttner and Suspicion Breeds Confidence. As can be imagined there are a lot of church bells and treated church organ sounds on this recordings, and it seems to me that the funfair sounds are treated beyond recognition. In Hans SchŸttler's piece there is a straight cut back and forth between the two places: people chanting anprocessing'sd voices from the funfair. Martin Moritz makes ultra short loops from the material, and presents an almost gabber piece. Most other pieces are gentle processing's of the offered field recordings, which are all nice but there is no standout piece either. The nice thing is that the original field recordings are also on this disc, so anyone with some spare time can do their own remix. (FdW)
