(Strubergasse 23, A-5020 Salzburg)
On Dec 10th, the "Monday of
Hörspiel" at the Literaturhaus Salzburg
takes place for the 100th and last time. The
respective live on line - on site performances by
Hartmut Geerken and Rupert Huber not only mark
the end of this series but also the conclusion of
the annual program of the Literaturhaus, which
was dedicated to the motto:"Countdown.
Hörspiel in the 20th Century".
Hartmut Geerken (b.1939)
and Rupert Huber (b.1967) have made important and
innovative contributions to contemporary
radio-art. In their performances, which in each
case represent new versions of complex works-in
progress, both artists make use of very unusual
scores. They both - in very different ways -
employ the human voice and reflect the potential
and limits of recording-and transmission-
technologies in relation to sentient
space/time.
"bombus terrestris revisited
#4" by Hartmut Geerken
"bombus terrestris revisited
#4" (originally produced by Bayerischer Rundfunk in
1998) is the first version of the work-in-progress
not to be simultaneously broadcast on
air. It is, however, the second one to be experienced as a
live webcast. In each version, Hartmut Geerken
adds a new live-layer to the
previous versions: in a process of
highly intensive reception/production, the artist
in his own voice, and in the context of a new
constellation of space/time-, social/medial
parameters, inscribes a new trace into the
recorded work.
The months' long recordings of bumble-bees -
the basic material of this sisyphos-like struggle between the
present and its archiving - lends an additional layer of
associations to a complex discourse on "nature"
and "technology".
"DARB - I FETIH. Live Mix,
Salzburg, 2001" by Rupert Huber
"DARB - I FETIH" started in 1995/96 and
first manifested itself as a
"language-beat"-installation. Since then, its
point of reference has been an on line
"circular score book" - an image of "a
circle of the sounds of a 24 step system
for the performance of classical
Turkish music" from a violin school founded in 1913.
Rupert Huber has structured the piece from the outset
in a characteristicly modular form, building off
the rythmic aspects of language as an interface for
meaning, sound and music. This working
method made and makes it not only possible for
him to extract a highly poetical potential from
loops and samples, but also to inscribe traces of
his work into many different
spatial/medial/social/art contexts and, at
the same time, to reflect on the constantly
shifting parameters of (art-)production/reception
within the contemporary hybrid network of
mediated realities.
The event is a coproduction by
