DIE MILCHSTRASSE FLOCKT - DIE MILCHSTRASSE FLOCKT (LP)

"Die Milchstrasse Flockt marks a turning point in the label's history, as a group of Berlin based artists got together only for this record: The quintet consisted of Ruth-Maria Adam, Alexander P. Jovanovic, Inox Kapell, Josefine Lukschy and Alexander Meurer. They have no collective history or collaborative background - the group was only set to drive out to Schloss Freudenberg, a looming Chateau built in 1905, with a truckload of instruments. Their aim was to embrace the possibilities of the space, its historic collection of rare and strange instruments and its acoustics. Formed organically through the time spent in the castle, the album turned out to be an obscure yet beautiful assemblage of strange noises and sounds, staged and amplified through the space itself and the perspective of a KU-100 dummy-head microphone. All music was created with a wide range of acoustic instruments and unique sound devices, captured in binaural Kunstkopf Stereofonie. Thus, listening to this record with headphones will relocate you directly to the actual recording scenario." (label info)
