Manu Holterbach, inventor of the electronic glasses (see
Vital Weekly 472), works also with spatialization devices
and mutant loudspeakers, but also installations and
performances.
For the piece presented on this miniCD, he locked a
microphone hermetically in a bottle. He threw the bottle in
a Swiss river, the Aare, and made this recording.
If you open a bottle of some drink with bubbles, you might
be fascinated at the sounds of the bubbles escaping. The
first half of this piece sounds a bit similar, but if you
listen carefully you can also hear voices from aside of the
river. But they are far away, and as the piece progresses,
they become louder.
Perhaps the bottle washed ashore? It's a pretty
single-minded concept that however works out very well.
It's a beauty to listen to. Somewhere between highly
filtered rain sounds and opening the next beer can.
