Historische Aufnahmen/Historical Recordings Vol.1
Label:
GAGARIN RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:
LP
Price:
$33.00
Catalog #:
GR 2013LP
"With almost universal access to the internet and the rise of the online archive it may appear that the entire history of recorded sound is only a few mouse clicks away. However, the 2008 discovery in a Paris archive of a phonautograph recording of 'Au Clair de Lune' from 1860 demonstrated that fragile treasures remain to be discovered by the dedicated explorer. Musician, composer and radio producer Felix Kubin has spent the last 5 years investigating, tracking down and collecting a stunning selection of hitherto neglected recordings from archives and private collections. With an eye for the antique curiosity, and an ear for the curious dusty beauty of abandoned transmissions from the past, he is now proud to present this first collection of historical recordings. The recordings presented here offer many and diverse pleasures from the analogue realm. Amongst the jewels offered are chronicles of eccentric machines, alleged occult occurrences on telephone exchanges, drunken whalers, marine plankton, music hall entertainers, Nazi attempts to play proto-synthesizers, uncategorizable oddities, and lost documents by originators of the avant-garde. This deluxe vinyl only edition is presented in lavish packaging including a booklet which contains an essay by Felix Kubin, extensive notes on each track and illustrations."

HINDEMITH, PAUL
Title:
Wir Bauen Eine Stadt (We Build a Town)
Label:
GAGARIN RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:
LP
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
GR 2017LP
LP, one-sided reissue of a very obscure 1981 cassette on Ata Tak! Music of Hindemith, interpreted by Holger Hiller and Thomas Fehlmann. "In 1930 the German composer Paul Hindemith (1895-1963) wrote a series of small pieces for school orchestras. It was described as a 'play for children' depicting the construction and survey of a modern city. The unusual thing about it is the age of its inhabitants: '
In our city the grownups have no say... Our mayor is seven years old, and all uncles and aunties are children. Even the traffic warden is a child.
'
We Build A Town
comes across as strange in more than one way. Firstly, as a bizarre alternative blueprint to an elderly society. Secondly, as a combination of constructivist music and antiquated-modernist lyrics. These lyrics reflect traits of naïve belief in progress and open repression. Half a century after the original was created, two German artists with a punk and new wave background reinterpret the play and release it in 1981 as a cassette tape on Ata Tak, a label based in the German city of Düsseldorf. The classic orchestration of the original is replaced by synthesizer and manipulated voices. Apart from that, the original score is strictly adhered to. The use of electronic instruments and voice effects not only gives new life to the futuristic character of the pieces, but also subtly hints to its origins in the world of adults. Like the flame of a burning fuse leading to a bundle of explosives, the tape wanders through the children's bodies and back into the heads of the grown-ups."
