The Festival Experimentelle Musik is a music festival in Munich, organized by
Stephan Wunderlich
and
Edith Rom
, that has been held annually in December since 1983. One of the festival's unique characteristics is the way the performances are organized: Each is limited to 20 to 25 minutes and all take place in direct succession without pauses, on previously set-up small stages. In 2017,
Seiji Morimoto
and
Yan Jun
performed after each other. Seiji's piece was called "Ring + Balance", he used small speakers, microphones and amplifiers on a table to create feedback rings that were eventually distorted by alarm clocks. Yan performed "Solo With Background" in which he sat on a chair making vocal and body gestures and had two audience members announce the elapsed time every three or five minutes, respectively, according to their own inner clocks. As a spectator, Edition Telemark felt that the two performances had something in common. Their very quiet and experimental nature -- in the sense that it was impossible to anticipate what would happen and when, if at all -- made the audience listen not only to the sounds but also to the situation that had been evoked. When the label met Seiji a few weeks later in Berlin, it turned out that he had a similar feeling. Edition Telemark asked Yan and the idea was born to make a split LP of both recordings. The performances were recorded by
Albert Dambeck
and carefully mastered for vinyl by
Werner Dafeldecker
. Audience noises are an intended part of the recordings. Seiji Morimoto (b. 1971) is a Japanese sound artist and performer living in Berlin. He is interested in uncertain acoustic appearances between usual objects. Yan Jun (b. 1973) is a Chinese musician and poet based in Beijing. He works with field recordings, electronics, voice, body movement etc.: sometimes funny --always simple. Edition of 300.
