Mehr KAMMERFLIMMER KOLLEKTIEF: Heike Aumüller, zusammen mit Dietmar Dath

Mo — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:25:27 +0000

“Verbotene Verbesserungen“, ein Buch in Gemeinschaftsarbeit von Dietmar Dath und Heike Aumüller, wird im April beim Nürnberger Verlag starfruit publications veröffentlicht.
Hier ein Auszug:
Wir sind zerbrochen, das macht uns knackig. Wir sind begraben, das macht uns geduldig. Wir sind vergessen, das macht uns unzerstörbar. Wir sind besiegt, das macht uns klüger. Wir sind eine Art Staub, und eine Art Gold, und eine Art Hoffnung, und eine Art Irrtum. Wir sind über und über mit winzigen Fehlern bedeckt, und wer uns unter all diesen Fehlern dennoch erkennen kann, gehört zu uns.

KAMMERFLIMMER KOLLEKTIEF: “Ovale Fenster” Radio play

Mo — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 15:34:22 +0000

Radio play by Thomas Weber & Volker Zander
with an original text by German writer Dietmar Dath and music by Kammerflimmer Kollektief
Download (from April 3rd – 10th): www.swr2.de/hoerspiel

With the German physicist and physiologist Hermann von Helmholtz (1821-94) begins the era of sound. In his 1863 published study “Die Lehre von den Tonempfindungen“ (On the Sensations of Tone as a Physiological Basis for the Theory of Music) the scientist writes the first music theory based on physical experiments about the perception of all listenable and opens a door to a new sonic world of acoustic consonance and dissonance, interferences, timbres, tone colours and combination tones. Helmholtz senses: What we are actually listening to is based on illusions, that a forest of fine hairs inside the human ear is whispering to our brain. These synthetic oscillations and physiologist experiments are the starting point for the Kammerflimmer Kollektief to play an Improv Noir mixing Indian harmonium drones, crescending sine wave slides, noisy double bass and dark surf guitar twang.

To be released on April 20th 2012!
