RUMPELKAMMER (aka Wolfgang)
This longstring project has been going on for one year now and is still vibrating. It does not need any instrument, one string is a music instrument by itself. Outdoors, tensed between trees or whatever- soundreflections will arise from it by the slightest tuch of a hand or the wind.
This wave architecture is threedementional, neverending resonance, from the early morning until late night: zeromotion.
Wolfgang Menzel
From Fabulat Archive:
Investigations about string sounds. I recorded string vibrations with my little minidisc and some really simple microphones, adapting them to the strings directly ( notice that I really appriciate simple equipment - it´s cheap and can be replaced by a dime ). After the recording the work begins, transforming, sampling and hundreds of listenings and corrections. Not technically in the first space but "musically " I give a shit for a little unwished noise here or there if it is not obvious being a distortional one disturbing the whole thing. I went out into parks and beaches of smaller lakes to make these recordings.
The string material can be fishing lines or wire, everything with good vibration capacity is welcome. I even went indoor, butit´s more fun to be more roomless because of the feeling perhaps. These pieces are no traditional electroacoustic compositions, they are more like paintings and one should prefer to listen to them like acoustic paintings more than musical pieces.
