Radio Gagarin Konzert

Asmus Tietchens (HH)Hyph (B)Helena Gough (GB)Asmus Tietchens: "I try to avoid all influences and I think there are no influences [in my music] as far as I can tell. If there are any influences, maybe they are unconscious or subconscious influences. I try very hard to avoid influences in the music that I listen to and enjoy, and that I know I should not copy. Listening to other people’s music helps me determine exactly what I must not do. It’s very important for me to do things that are absolutely my own."Hyph:"... eine poetisch-subversive Transformation des Zapping-Wahrnehmungs-Modus, der dem okzidentalen Durchschnittsmenschen von Massenmedien, software-dominiertem Arbeitsalltag und Werbungs-Invasionen im öffentlichen Raum auferlegt wird.Der rauhe Cut-Up-Stil der ersten Veröffentlichungen und Auftritte istinzwischen einem subtileren, vielschichtigen Musique-Concrète-Ansatzgewichen, in dem sich die Irritationen und abrupten Wechesel eher alsMikro-Ereignisse einschleichen. In den komplexen Stücken verschachteln sichunbearbeitete Elemente eines durchweg akustischen Quellmaterials mit verschiedenen Verfremdungsstufen ihrer selbst, bis hin zur völligen Abstraktion."Helena Gough:"To listen, rather than just to hear with dumb ears. The power of sound as a transformative experience, a place for uncertainty and substance. Moving out of the harsh glare of a visually dominated culture. Intuition...you are the idea, the movement, the moment. Intuition is a technique of knowledge or self-knowledge that has become internalised, can run on automatic and at a rapid rate. It is a reaching into the depths of memory and the subconscious that cannot be willed or forced. Discovering patterns in the darkness."
