| Swiss (guitar) experimentalist and sound artist Stephan Wittwer |
| has, after his internationally acclaimed audio work "streams" on |
| Grob (which was worth a honorary mention at 2002's Ars |
| Electronica), now released his first album, a double cd, for the |
| Swiss domizil imprint; it is an album that contains moments of |
| sublime beauty and softness, most of all, the long piece ½sicht |
| 04╗ on disc number 2 is a surprising work of almost meditative |
| calm, scanty sketchiness and sensuality. Over the duration of |
| this piece, long sustained synthetic drones and sounds of a |
| detuned steel string guitar, that are partially layers of prime |
| number harmonics resulting in bell-like sounds that are clashing |
| tonal systems, fill out the listening space. |
| The musical material on sicht 04 ect. is by degrees based on |
| ideas and samples, the musician has developed for work of the |
| visual artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss in the last decade |
| (their ultra slow slide show installation "Sichtbare Welt"). |
| Moreover, the composition LSRMstereo on the ect. Disc, is a two |
| channel version of a commissioned work for the listening room at |
| 2003's Taktlos Festival in Berne, where it's multichannel version |
| was presented, among the work of other artist like Alvin Curran, |
| Christian Fennesz, Otomo Yoshihide or Steinbruechel. |
| Most of the tracks on the "ect."- CD use algorithmic or |
| probabilistic methods for their creation; there is nearly no |
| "live" guitar playing on it, but some disembodied sounds of this |
| instrument are omnipresent. The music was developed mainly at the |
| computer, utilizing the programming language and environment |
| SuperCollider, often with stochastic processes in use, which lead |
| to a different rendering of the compositions each time the |
| program code (or in other words, the score) gets executed - |
| therefore, the versions on the CD itself, are un-repeatable and |
| unique. |
| "Maybe the Swiss label Domizil hit upon a secret wallet: so many |
| new releases at once. The first one is a double CD by Stephan |
| Wittwer, whose 'Streams' CD (Vital Weekly 291) was his second |
| solo CD in eleven years, but now it didn't take that long. |
| Wittwer plays guitar, for what it's worth to know. In 'In A' |
| there are guitar sounds, clearly recognizable, but they are |
| mutated inside the computer. The ever so mysterious SuperCollider |
| programm is responsible for these treatments. In other tracks, |
| the guitar is only present because we are told so. Here the |
| crackles of plug ins and ever changing algorhythms run amok. It's |
| a pretty long one this CD and not always easy to access. Served |
| in a smaller dose it is however quite nice. The second CD has |
| only one track and is the opposite to the hectic first disc. It |
| starts out with guitar plucking that is gradually being treated |
| with computer techniques but half way through the piece unfolds |
| into drone music of a more heavy nature. Strictly personal I'd |
| say that this is side of Wittwer that I liked better." [FdW - |
| Vital Weekly 425] |
