RELEASE NOTES:
PIROUETTEN was started in September 2003, when Reto MΣder
a.k.a. RM74 wanted to visit Ralf Wehowsky a.k.a. RLW in his
solid green middle-class garden. On his way to RLW's
single-family-house, RM74 became a victim of the german
control paranoia, as embodied by a sturdy female Karlsruhe
tram-warden. Influenced by the folkloristic stubbornness of
present-day control authorities, a sustained penance
resulted in mutual musical pieces.
Early results of the RM74/RLW collaboration can be found on
the "Epitaph For John" CD ("Seeking Perfection - Somewhere
Else" on Korm Plastics KP3016), the Wire's website
("Zungenschlitz & Spontane Deflagration" www.thewire.co.uk)
and on the "Fireproof In 8 Parts" CD by RM74 ("Scharlach In
Saldo" on Hinterzimmer hint02). PIROUETTEN exploits the
authors' long-lasting dedication to the unpure tradition of
centurial folkways. The 8 pieces were developed by
juxtaposing crude instrumental raw materials under strict
electro-acoustic control. They are songs of songs about
loyalty to the grey area between music and noise, Lacan and
Freud, stubbornness and penance, grey burgundy and Rolf
Benz. Recorded March 2004 - May 2006 in Bern/Switzerland and
Eggenstein/Germany.
RM74: organ, accordeon, piano, cello, (bass-) guitar,
harmonica, transformations, composition.
RLW: gamelan, sitar, paper, guitar, trombone, chimes,
recordings of populated fields, transformations,
composition.
