Label:	KLANGGALERIE (AUSTRIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	GG 052CD

Released in 2004. "In 1986, SPK's Graeme Revell released an album entitled Necropolis, Amphibians and Reptiles. The recordings were based on the work of Swiss art brut artist and mental patient Adolf Wölfli. Some fifteen years later, Austrian composer Bernhard Gal used Wöfli's poems as the basis for a sound installation at modern art museum Essl near Vienna. Klanggalerie are proud to present you a CD version of this outstanding composition. There are male and female voices bordering between meaning and non-meaning, footsteps and field recordings. Headphone listening highly recommended! If you need comparison think Robert Ashley, Paul De Marinis or Trevor Wishart."

Label:	PLATE LUNCH (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	PL 11

"The Austrian sound artist and composer Bernhard Gal developed the concept for Defragmentation/blue over the past two years in collaboration with the Japanese architect Yumi Kori. Their aim is to explore the interactions between temporal and spatial conditions and their impact on human perception and imagination. Defragmentation/blue -- an audio-architectural exploration of time -- was exhibited for the first time in September 1999 at Studio Five Beekman, a music gallery in New York which is specifically committed to the presentation of multimedia/sound installation art.This is Gal's second CD-release. His first CD-release Bestimmung New York -- very different in concept and sound compared to his recent CD -- has been released on Austria's Durian label in 1999. Defragmentation/blue is a minimalistic, yet haunting listening experience. Gal's use of psycho-acoustic phenomena creates a highly intense and entrancing atmosphere where time seems to stand still."
