Alades Paraules by paulchristophrose

This is the music for an installation that I am preparing currently. It will consist of a kind of building made out of five walls, each one with a chimney. Music will sound out of each of those five chimenys. Voices will be heard. The light will change. The visitor can walk around, listen to each side's sounds and words, and after a whle he will be able to enter the inside where someting incredible will happen. We will put it on display in december 2009 at the Convent San Agusti in Barcelona.

Postcristobal by paulchristophrose

Lately we did some sessions in the studio that we called ping-pong-improvisations. There were two or three laptops with ableton live, and every hundred bars we would interchange the computer. Like tihs everyone would have the chance to change each others set, add or mute parts etc. The bove track is made out of pieces that I saved after one of those sessions.

Suma & Fatima - In a garden

2008-03-06T07:24:00.000-08:00

Today we played a improvisation set with our long time friend Frank Rudow - who recently moved to Barcelona and is working here with his new project Suma. He had been invited to make music on a event organized by friends, and he invited us to play together with him. The event took place in a kind of greenhouse and we played ambient music for the invited guests between plants and a surreal exposition. Frank used stones, leaves, flowerpods and found objects for percussion, we played on two laptops, sampling his noises. On our drop-page you can listen to the last 11 minutes of the one and a half hour long improvised ambient set we played.

Mitten im Krieg

2005-07-29T15:40:00.000-07:00

A song written by Michael Girke, founding member of fast weltweit . Recorded and edited by Carsten Galle a.k.a. Wireless Artist. Guitars by Hannes. Some singing and some mastering from my side. I got to know this song more than ten years ago when we played it with the band "Lüge!". I actually thought the song would be from Lüge!'s singer Peter Horsch, until we asked him for permission to cover/publish it. He told us that it is from legendary songwriter Michael Girke, we did not manage to contact him until now.

Where is my mind?

A great song. It's actually about diving and fishes. I forgot to record the best part of the original version, therefore the picture.

¿Ke fem?

2005-05-22T14:21:00.000-07:00

Sometimes when recording voice the quality of the sound may be bad. One possible solution is to distord the voice a lot. I recorded this one in a very small room at night, so I had to whisper when recording the singing.

2005-05-22T14:07:00.000-07:00

Kaffe in Codols

2005-05-22T09:27:00.000-07:00

This track was made with a short recording of me and my flatmates preparing coffee, in the flat in Calle Codols/Barcelona where I once lived. It does not have any other sound, only the cupboard, the cup, the spoon and some hot milk. Kaffe in Codols.mp3

Valse triste de Las Rotas

2005-05-22T09:03:00.000-07:00

This is a sad slow instrumental guitar-piece. It uses a drum-sample fron John Convertino/Calexico and in the repitition I put some violins from a Godspeed You Black Emperor-song. I wrote and recorded it in Las Rotas, a small village on the mediterranean coast between Valencia and Almeria. I used a very cheap PC-microphone for recording the guitar.

Real Dub

2005-05-22T08:59:00.000-07:00

I like Dub and it's electronic bastards a lot. This piece is one of my attempts to create something dubby. Take care with your speakers, this recording has some evil basses. Real Dub.mp3

Mamasita

2005-05-22T08:55:00.000-07:00

This song is about emigrating, the first version was for a friend, telling him that he should not come back to the smalltown in germany that he had left. I rewrote it later when he had returned and I myself wanted to leave. It uses a sample from one of my favourite records, but I do not tell you which one ... Mamasita.mp3

Einsam

2005-05-22T08:45:00.000-07:00

This song was written in the beginning of the nineties. It was recorded for the short movie "Drinnen ist kein Draussen" (Christine Brandtner/Sigve Haug). I played on a toy-guitar that I had bought on a fleamarket for 5 DM. The song was recorded by Oliver Bitzer with a betacam and one microphone. We published it on the first Los Kunka Boys-CD.
