CD-release: [Baskaru] Celer, Achim Wollscheid & Bernhard Schreiner

ACHIM WOLLSCHEID & BERNHARD SCHREINER - CALIBRATED CONTINGENCY
NEW CD OUT NOW

When you saw those two names – Achim Wollscheid and Bernhard Schreiner – side by side on a piece of paper, you probably thought "Of course, this collaboration makes so much sense!" Unless you went "Who?"

True, Wollscheid and Schreiner are not what you would call household names of the experimental music scene. Although the former gained serious "street" credit on the Industrial scene in the '80s with his moniker S.B.O.T.H.I. and his collaborations with P16.D4. Wollscheid also cofounded the influential production company/label Selektion. And in the '90s and early 2000s he published a string of brilliant albums of computer music and avant-garde electronics on Selektion and Ritornell. For the past ten years, however, he has released very little music, focusing instead on sound art installations.

Schreiner is a photographer, filmmaker, installation artist, and musician. Like Wollscheid, he presents many more exhibitions than he releases records, and his work in both realms shows strong affinities with the Selektion man.

Calibrated Contingency consists in a continuous 47-minute live performance recorded in Graz in 2011. Both artists are using a computer and minimal external input devices (a boundary microphone, an induction coil, a radio). At the performance, each had a pair of stereo speakers, and all four speakers were arranged in a single line. This CD presents a stereo mix of that performance. And what a performance it is: a complex fabric of mangled frequencies, raw electricity, odd sounds, clips and glitches, woven loosely, with silent holes here and there. Dizzying and otherworldly...

...but isn't that what the sound of our world should sound like?

Negative hands

One might not know where to put one´s hands. There is a tradition of dealing with this in christianity called arching. The fingertips touch each other, it´s impossible to say which hand feels the other first.

We know she went to the caves of lascaux this summer. But her renderings are not of beautiful hunter gatherer hands, this is the deformed, sweaty and domesticated hand of the MENSCH.

„Sometimes she jokes about going to a party and just breathing, nobody finds it funny.“ Maybe the paintings were drawn on glass with fatty fingers and you had to breathe them visible.

Normally you can only see the spine of a human if something has gone wrong. If the spine of a book falls off the one is revealed to be made up of the many. The pages fall out like teeth from the cover mouth. To avoid this you could make everything white, write in invisible ink, let the teeth fall gently into snow.

There is a style of modern churches, normal after bauhaus. Translucence, a spiritual framelesness, symbolic frames trump real ones, smokey tape. It's temporary, you’re going to have to build a new one, it´s easy once you have the formula.

Press Release

1666*

"So farewell, hope; and with hope farewell, fear;
Farewell, remorse! all good to me is lost...

-- Paradise Lost (1667)

*note: at the insistence of certain of the artists, we return to Milton's Satan. We accept that modernism and post-modernism have been included from the beginning in what we know as romanticism. O.k. then Romanticism survives (still in a state of abject horror, no less) as those others fall away. But this is a romanticism shorn of nature, of hope, of extra-capitalist possibility. This is beyond the possibility of an Irish state. We are back at Satan, it seems, brooding over a cliff, looking good silhouetted by flames. England burns. -- mvs

Against collaboration. For competition. Inheriting not even Darwin, this new race of gods is more beautiful than we were. It is more childlike as well or will present itself that way. It shows advanced regression. These have bathed in the acid of the total critique. These know any dialectics fall from and upon the observer; in fact for them the language of dialectics is simply out of date. Philosophy's casual struggles? Merely to set the unconscious in play works wonders in that regard. This is a new commitment to hesitation. Its cynicism is unabashedly naive. One claw in the uncollectible, it is not site specific and depends on the imagination of everyone concerned. It rediscovers the late seventeenth century and avoids the late eighteenth. For these even salad equals death. There is only one bionormal human; the three others display the genetic flaws of the patriarchy. For them, the final degradation came in the nineties. In the inverse or Satanic post-apocalypse, unlike Endymion their fits of convulsions generate creation. That is not to say nothing prickles. Everything "prickles," when they set out, as in Hudibras (1666), "a-coloneling." The revolution has still not even been articulated properly. They will be imbedded in its wall. They walk like half-ghosts through a non-present world in a situation similar to that described by China Miéville in The City and The City (2009), and Jack Vance before him in "Ulon Dhor" (1950). In general, it is only the wider city that is at disadvantage in this situation. We are forever cut off from them. We have no idea what they have achieved in this regard. The self is an alien. A new pre-primitive; certainly, there is no relation at all to modernism. This neo-ancient in fact reaches like the sixteenth century back at least as far as the domestication of the fox, to volcanoed mosaics and first-documented alien landing-sites. Yet even now the shadow of the Crabber passes over like a scythe. A seriousness that makes it no longer quite safe to maintain the adolescence it calls for. What was once the wide open 3d grid of the model railroad set is now the existential prison of history. But what comes next? even as the oceans downgrade, clear cool water bubbles through their nose. Is it your imagination? Not exactly. Only in this drowned world, some would say (even against adversity of the sort that stalked Mrs. Milton and Aphra Behn), do they encounter the undiscovered countries they were created to misrule.
