The Sonic Shadow project was born from Satch Hoyt’s desire to share his Sonic Texts (Soundscapes) with a broader public. In fact to take his Trans National African Diasporian sonic renderings to a non specific art world audience, as a visual artist as him, Sonic Texts are solely experienced in art gallery museum exhibition contexts, this in fact is limiting the oeuvre to an often elite group, which is not his mission.The studio recorded Sonic Texts are self composed/collaged sonic narratives in conversation with, and originally designed to accompany Hoyt’s sculptural objects and installations, by remixing and editing this material with Dirk Leyers in his Berlin studio.

Swan Song is a work by Lucinda Dayhew involving several Berlin based electronic and experimental/new music composers. It is a reinterpretation of the myth of the dying swan. The swan songs are pressed on limited edition vinyl dubplates by Flipping the Coin. Losing quality slightly with each play, as is the case with all dubplates, after approximately 500 plays the audio on the records will be rendered inaudible.

On the first side of the record is the title Bonn, Beuel, Tannenbusch, Henry Moore und ich. This is one of several sound poems developed into music by Wilhelm Klotzek with the musical collective BREI .
On the second side is the audio piece Der Espressokocher which piece is based on the audio notes Wilhelm Klotzek regularly puts down and often collages a new, transmitting them as radio broadcasts. Der Espressokocher are recordings from the artist’s kitchen. For example, you can hear him grumbling about O-rings mixed with guitar play and musical recordings from Willie Nelson and Renft.
