Ephraim Wegner sort ses productions chez Cronica depuis 2007, mais elles étaient jusque là toutes disponibles en version numérique, notamment sous forme de podcast, et nous en n’avons donc jamais parlé. Eins Bis Sechzehn est un objet un peu particulier, d’un format un peu plus grand qu’un CD mais ne contenant qu’une vingtaine de minutes …

“eins bis sechzehn” reviewed by The Sound Projector

The item Eins Bis Sechzehn (CRONICA 069-2012) is by the sound artist Ephraim Wegner and the visual artist Julia Weinmann, with their audio and visual snapshots of old ruined hotels.

Die CD mit den mittels FFT oder Granulare Synthese überarbeiteten Geräuschen aus ehemaligen Ferienhotels präsentiert sich im Vinyl-Singleformat, gemeinsam mit einer Serie von Aufnahmen aus eben …
