Even when I say this
I see a cloud necklaced with fire.
I see people melting like tears.

**Trypophobia** is an aversion to the sight of repetitive patterns or clusters of small holes and bumps.
Materialised through graphical sound synthesis ideas developed by Iannis Xenkis’ UPIC system.

The Quantussy is a five (5) petaled flower, each petal with oscirator, that creates a rhythm, that triggers quantizations of the movements of the other four oscirators. The Quantussy is thus both based on five (5), but four(4)… and its name also refers to Quantum Physics through its unique “double quantizing” of angular momentum.
Running at low frequencies, the Quantussy is intended to provide ample modulations for the various functions of the COCOs, through inputs “FLIP”, “SKIP”, and “SP.AF”, or “Speed Affect”. The Quantussy petals can also run at audio frequencies, as well as “Balcium” frequencies, depending on a toggle switch.
The center of the Quantussy merits some attention. There is a central indicator-lozenge of 15 Light Emitting Diodes, showing the “Spesal State” of the device. The Spesal State is controlled by touching the “Cercel Nodes”, thus preserving Ciat-Lonbarde’s motto of “touch-sensitive is best!”.
To preserve this precious jewel of silicon encased in finest woods, use patch cords to wire it up in its own self-reconfiguring spasms.
These vibrations, spasms, activities, all manifest in unique transpositions and flip-skips in your material, which is input via Mike, Synthin, or special High Impedance Piezoin. The COCO modules here have a generalized version of the DOLBY cargo-cult preamp, which includes a self-expander, and an other-puncher for maximum POP SENSATION MUSIC>
You see, on each COCO, there is a knob for INPUT as well as FEEDBA… These are the primary functions of the COCO, to take in sound and recirculate it through *8BIT* digital memory. These two functions INPUT and FEEDBA, depending on a toggle switch, can punch the others out to create monophonic articulations of time-layers in your material.
Blind Material Volume II is the companion album to Lacanian Sieve (domizil 52) by Bernd Schurer.
The composition Vortexification, an unfinished “work of crisis”, is released on cassette tape solely to exist. The digital download includes additional sound materials generated similarly (Sieves in SC, see Xenakis, Roads et al) as those found on Lacanian Sieve.
What is it good for? A Game.

Heliopoieisis Poetics
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.
New release on domizil:
“If this music can be narrated, it resonates in the narrative. At least it has changed me physically, this narrated music. It modulates my waves, my relationship to the wind, to the medium of music. And if that is not proof for you, please. Then why should I help you any further? After all, I have other things to do.
The wind has infected me. I have to devote myself to it.”

online release
Bernd Schurer’s seventh release on domizil consists of a single piece, which has a duration of just over an hour. The work was composed with SuperCollider and a Nord Modular G1 synthesizer. It is based on recordings of a pentatonic sound and some pizzicati, played on a cello by Tom Withall. The result is a calm ocean of sound, which spreads out over larger time intervals and which is at times dynamized by a few turbulences, where the sound material folds and new, ephemeral figures appear – like paper ships in the swell of an unknown water.
Online release – available on your preferred streaming platform: Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, TikTok/Resso, Google Play/YouTube, Amazon, Pandora, Deezer, Tidal, Napster, iHeartRadio, ClaroMusica, Saavn, Anghami, KKBox, MediaNet and others.
