music for the nude photo exhibition 'akträume' by markus reck and accompanying performances at the e-werk freiburg in january/february 2009
to be released on january the 15th 2009
'for the akträume project, stefan follows the idea of markus reck’s photographs and interprets it in a variety of different ways musically: for his so-called ‘body percussions’, which form the rhythmical and tonal basis of stefan’s compositions, he has recorded and digitally processed the sound of hands slapping human bodies. By use of formal elements such as repetition and variation of a musical theme as well as harmonic and rhythmical symmetry, a further connection to the photographs shown in this exhibition is established.' (quoted from the akträume-website)
the akträume-cd is limited to 350 copies and features photos and artwork by markus reck. it will be available at the e-werk freiburg from january the 15th until february the 15th 2009 or can be ordered at farangnoise@yahoo.de for 10€ + mailing expenses.

There are already many people in my neighbourhood blowing things up in honour of the long-dead queen. I guess they're trying to wake her up or something.
