The Sound of the Fairytale Recordings

 

Flipping the Coin is proud to announce the label´s second release with Saâdane Afif.

Saâdane Afif´s The Sound of the Fairytale Recordings is, as the title implies, a recording of the sound from the performance series The Fairytale Recordings, which was shown at the Schinkel Pavillon 2011 in Berlin and at Raebervon-Stenglin 2011 in Zurich. The Fairytale Recordings are performed by the opera singer Katharina Schrade and composed by Ari Benjamin Meyers. The Lyri

cs are writen by Tom Morton, Lili Reynaud Dewar, Mick Peter, Ina Blom and Tacita Dean. This edition includes a music sheet and song booklet „The Fairytale Recordings (A Mime)“ which was published in the occasion of a lecture during „What Would Thomas Bernhard Do?“ at the Kunsthalle Wien, Austria, in 2013.

The Sound of the Fairytake Recordings, 2013, 12“ Dubplate, Edition of 30 + 5AP´s, 470.- €

Niederschlag

Niederschlag presents two works by Alexander Hick. The photo book “Cazador Furtivo”, the results of his journeys from 2009 to 2011 from Berlin over Barcelona to Tarifa, Spain´s closest harbor to Africa, are synthesized by the artist under the title „Cazador Furtivo“. His spatial perspective of landscapes. He searches for and finds images, also finds those, he was not looking for. The analogue, color and monochrome photos refer to this attitude. There is the moment of delay, a considered photo shoot, a cutout of the environment is targeted and visually captured. Poetic landscapes, sublime mountains, destroyed areas, wasted nature, wanderers and workers, refugees and protesters are his prey. The closeness to the photographed objects can be sensed.

The second work, titled “Und sie spielen doch”, is a montage of film stripes of crucial situations on the mountain or in the cold. The cold, survival and actions in those extreme latitudes create these pictures. Scanned film footage of a three day mountain tour in winter is being used as well as film footage of military actions in the Arctic Sea from the archive of the German military.

Alexander Hick conceives the pictures to be condensates of observed processes. The Book title refers to this conception.

Subsonic

 

Shortly after the publication of Jules Verne’s novel Paris in the 20th Century, in 1994, Bert Wrede and Peter Lang decided to transform this wild subject into a sound composition. In 1996 they produced an installation of eight channels with voices and sounds for an exhibition in the Technical Collections of the Museum of Dresden,The Thing Between.The sounds were derived from a 12-cylinder emergency power system, a so-called submarine diesel motor from Charité Hospital in Berlin.The voices were those of Bert Wrede’s daughter, twelve years old at the time, and of professional actresses.
