MICHAEL PLEISSNER "The Gagosian Papers - Audiocollage"
CDR
Working on paper collages since the late 1970s, Fine Artist Michael Pleißner, uses a lot of different art-, architecture- and other cultural magazines, like "Kunstforum" or "Vogue".
For this Spoken Word Recording, Pleißner is using thirty text-fragments from the art-magazine "Gagosian", randomly picking them at first sight; in one take, within twenty minutes. The Audiocollage needs to be listened to by random play on a CD-Player. So each listening creates a new collage.
Born in 1951, Michael Pleißner lives in Leipzig, Germany. This CD is his third audio release.
8-pages booklet with an individually numbered CD.

ERIC BOROS "Snow Moon"
CDR
This is the second part of this collaborative work between Eric Boros & Michael Barthel. For the first part, "Hell's Hollow", Barthel composed imaginary textile landscapes to Boros' field recordings of locations of which neither the exact coordinates nor the nature of were divulged.
For "Snow Moon", the recordings are influenced by three of Barthel's photo objects, and have shifted their range of focus from the source to the action. These landscapes represent a built environment, and one in ruin; frustrated, lonely, and jagged. And yet in this space one can find liberation; a landscape of exploration, of acceptance, and of departure.
The three landscapes/photo objects are printed on the accompanying 8-page booklet.

JEAN-FRANÇOIS ROBARDET "The Mourning Voice - Leipzig gig, 2017/04/11"
Object
The Mourning Voice - Leipzig gig, 2017/04/11 is a live recording that doesn't exist, that will never exist, of a concert that never happened.
The object, as a compilation of incomplete documentation transformed into an event that everyone missed, represents a concretion of time, absence of time and words - as well as a modification, a silent gate between past and future and an empty archive or catalog of lost material.
Jean-François Robardet uses a large variety of media (drawing, poetry, digital image, sculpture, perfume) to address memory, war and time, and to research on the history of conflict and social and political issues, gender inequalities, cultural norms and discrimination. With "The Mourning Voice - Leipzig gig, 2017/04/11", Robardet's poetic, allegorical methods reveal an aspect of his practice, through which he edits setlists with titles of his visual body of work, to curate the disappearance of unwritten songs and unheard voices.
Designed by Michael Barthel, the 19 tracks of the concert are printed on a fold-out cover, placed in a cassette case.
