various artists - elffriede: soundrawing

CD is €20.- plus shipping



elffriede, a vienna-based visual artist, has sent drawings to 34 musicians in different countries all over the world and invited them to compose 2-minutes sound-pieces inspired by the drawing.

the artists worked with various instruments (computer, field recordings, electroacoustic instruments, violin, saxophone, voice, typewriter and others) and thus the styles of the sound pieces are miscellaneous:

soundscapes (grzinich, kaiser, murmer, niblock, ruhland/behr)
electroacoustic music (goncalves, grünrekorder, prlic, raffaseder, troyer)
remixes (brandstifter, fuchs, gansterer, roisz),
beats, clicks & cuts (incite, mohntau, piringer, raffeiner, splinks,)
acoustic instruments and songs (homolka-list, reiter, wohnzimmer, zemmler,)
... and other styles and genres.

these 34 pieces have been mastered by martin siewert and are now published on the CD ‘soundrawing’ on www.transacoustic-research.com together with a booklet, which elffriede produced in cooperation with knust/extrapool (nijmegen): 36 pages in the size of a 7’-inch single cram-full with elffriedes fascinating drawings and poetry in german & dutch. a very exclusive product in a limited edition of 500 copies.

as second part of the interdisciplinary dialogue elffriede is now working on internet animations of her drawings in relation to the sounds, which will soon be presented on her webpage: www.elffriede.net/soundrawing
