Klangwart - Stadtlandfluss

klangwartAlways in the experimental field but now from a more electronic/noise sampling approach, Staugold Records’ latest Klangwart release, Stadtlandfluss, is another story. Certainly narrative, Stadtlandfluss puts together the unravelled urban story of breathing within the city. Beginning as silent as waking up, going to the understanding of the awake state and from then on, to the urban audio complexity of interchangeable chaos is experimental that makes personal sense. At it’s asleep/awake state, the dominant sounds sway between irritating and lullaby-ish as if your head spins around the pillow when your dream has been mixed with the reality of the construction site at the building opposite to your apartment’s. On the existing repetition of the sound of the outside, as the narration of a day in the city goes by, one finds him/herself in the audio secrets of the interior of the mechanisms of industrial society still able to catch the ambience from the window as if from somebody’s office/working environment. Typewriters, printers, telephone ringing, random speech in the form of rapid glances in human communication through microphones within the vast complexity of the machine-talk of smaller and bigger scale (from printers to helicopters) dominance. When done with walking through the strictly organized chaos of the industrial and as it fades out, the only thing left and now fading in more and more is the whisper of a real human, a speech, a sound of self conscience, a word goodbye. Definitely, Stadlandfluss is the result of “handcrafted” synthesis of recorded sounds in such a skilful way that is rid of any need for creating impressions as it intrigues much more interesting aspects of listening.
