Recordings for radio diffusion 1993 – 2003

While doing some Media Archeology for the Coningentia book, I came across some odd recordings I made, mostly for radio diffusion, between 1993 and 2003. What would later be labeled as laptop music and glitches is indeed the technological dawn of an ongoing fascination with glitches, aesthetics of failures, broken music, and, of course, the occlusion of the heart in the rise of demonic cybernetic suns. It is sometimes wonderful to be in the bright position of life, where shadows cast light on the traveler´s path through obscurity.

There are pieces exploiting the sounds of a Lowrey Genie ´98 organ at my parent’s house while our cat Minou was sleeping in its Leslie cabinet, destroying microphones of my Papa´s dictaphone while attempting to record burning coal, damaging and glitching a minidisc recorder from water spill while capturing the sound of water dropping into the sink (sic!) or exploiting stuck MIDI notes on my Yamaha DX-7 synthesizer as a means of overcoming “the problem” of time and my personal inabilities to “compose correctly” and many more puerile adolescent philosophical tropes…

Thank you everyone at Editions Mego for reminding me how precious this all was, is, and will be.

Me for my part, do not, have not, and never will exist.
