APOLLO 17/18
|
"This double CD-set is the companion to the final book reporting on the activities of Het Apollohuis. The recordings on these CDs give an idea of the music and the sound art presented in concerts at Het Appolohuis in the periods from 1980 through 1997. Out of a total of 500 performances I chose 38, from which excerpts of varying length have been included in this anthology. These have been arranged in chronological order. The diversity of the selected pieces is characteristic of the programme of Het Apollohuis. Only a limited number of the composers and musicians who performed at Het Apollohuis can be heard in brief fragments on these discs." Artists include: Derek Bailey, Ernst Reijseger; Tom Johnson; David Gibson; Group 180; Rolf Julius; Ned Rothenberg; Elliott Sharp; Vivenza; Pauline Oliveros; Arnold Dreyblatt; Carl Stone; Carles Santos; Joe Jones; Takehisa Kosugi; Terry Fox; Walter Fähndrich; Fast Forward; Alvin Lucifer; Alvin Curran; Richard Lerman; Jerry Hunt; Shelley Hirsch, David Weinstein; Eliane Radigue; The Hub; Teodoro Anzelotti; Pierre Berthet, Brigida Romano; Warren Burt; S.E.M. Ensemble; Jim O'Rourke; Borbetomagus; Butcher, Minton, Hirt; Iva Bittová; Stefan Kovacs Tickmayer; Rafaël Toral; David First; Reinier van Houdt; Kaffe Matthews; and Matt Rogalsky.

APOLLO 16
|
Four pieces recorded with Mexican Jumping Beans by Paul Panhuysen. "Before leaving Mexico City I bought 200 jumping beans and immediately after our return to Eindhoven I started to experiment with them. In the past I've worked often with animals, with birds, crickets and goats. I also use sensors, timers, solenoids, motors, galvano-meters, solar cells and oscillators to produce sounds. In my music I introduce both creatures and gadgets as independent and sometimes unpredictable musicians and fellow employees. I like to be surprised by the results of my productions, by the animals' behavior. The input of such rather autonomous elements helps to reveal the qualities of universal laws and conditions that define order, structure, chance and expression in a living and changing world. It is curiosity which makes my work come into being. Jumping beans are magical living creatures. I worked with them for a couple of weeks, tried out various recording modes and different effects. The final selection on this CD is rather straightforward. There are four different pieces. For each recording I put 16 jumping beans in 8 containers. Clothes-pins glued on piezo discs were used as contact mikes on each of the containers, which were placed on a sheet of soft foam plastic. The beans were activated by a halogen lamp over the table." -- Paul Panhuysen.
