"Janek Schaeffer is a London based sound artist, known for his innovative turntablism (his triphonic turntable being the most famous) but also for his interest in audio architectural research, concerned by relationships with a built environment such as bringing live sounds into buildings from outside through hidden microphones. His recent works combine in a delicate and masterful way vinyl manipulation techniques with field recordings and electronics. Janek spent 3 days collecting, manipulating and editing sounds found in and around the Casa de Serralves in Porto, Portugal. The Casa is located in the museum landscaped gardens and had a superb natural reverb. For the resulting concert this prepared material was improvised and combined with locally purchased 'Portuguese' vinyl and recordings he made using their Steinway piano. During the performance Janek physically 'played' the building by slowly winding down the enormous shutters and windows to envelop the audience in darkness. 'Immure' means to enclose within walls, to incarcerate. Towards the end of the concert Janek opened the terrace shutters and doors behind him as a sound reactive light installation cast shadows and light into the interior. The performance ended as he ran out into the moonlit garden away from the villa and audience as the final sounds flickered and faded away, leaving them in silence, alone."

Title:
Early Electronic Compositions
Label:
TONSCHACHT (GERMANY)
Format:
7"
Price:
$8.50
Catalog #:
TONS 016
"Both of these compositions were produced while I was working freelance for de Rijke Marsh Morgan architects in London. One afternoon I had a message to call a guy named 'Jet Mistry' who worked for the lift company Thyssen. He was a chatty guy so we talked about names etc, and I decided to dedicate a track to his as I liked it so much. This was produced using an 'RS Integrator' analog patch bay synthesizer that I'd bought around then with the profits of working a 96 hours week on a new London park competition. Another project we produced at the practice was a quirky, live, stop frame short video showcasing various projects for a touring architecture exhibition. I was asked to edit and produce the sound. Side B is a 7" mix with the spoken sections removed."
