ROEL MEELKOP
'Grey Mass / Grey Matter'
2 x 3“CDR, (2 x 21:20 min),
100 copies / DIN A5 cardboard cover, one CDR on each side.
1000füssler 014, release date: February 2010

grey mass 4‘09

grey mass 13‘13

grey matter 8‘34
grey matter 4‘48
grey matter 7‘56

The tracks on 'grey mass / grey matter' have come together in a very satisfying way. They were all concieved as single tracks except one and were composed with quite some time intervals inbetween. Now they converge on this release as if they have always belonged together. In a sense that is certainly the case, because the essence of these tracks lies in their concrete origins: all sound material is based on recorded sounds. No electronic sounds whatsoever were added. As if in some mysterious way this can be percieved and it should indeed be noted. Or maybe it should just be enjoyed?. (Roel Meelkop, 2010)

Roel Meelkop (1963) studied visual arts and art theory at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. During a post-graduate course at the same academy he decided to dedicate his work to sound and music. His musical activities date back to the early eighties when he started THU20, together with Jac van Bussel, Peter Duimelinks, Jos Smolders and Guido Doesborg. THU20 have released several tapes and CD‘s and performed regularly in Europe. His other activities include working with Kapotte Muziek and GOEM and organising sound events, mostly in Rotterdam. Aside from releases, Meelkop also creates site-specific sound installations and performance pieces in collaboration with other artists.

NEW !!!!
BIRGIT ULHER + GREGORY BÜTTNER
'Tehricks'
3“CDR, (19:38 min), 100 copies, foto cover
1000füssler 015, release date: February 2010

Birgit Ulher: trumpet, speakers, mutes / Gregory Büttner: computer

Tracklist:
Tehr: 7‘33
Eri: 5‘36
Rix: 6‘01

Gregory Büttner plays sounds from a computer through various small speakers, which Birgit Ulher uses as mutes for her trumpet. This way the trumpet sounds and the electroacoustic sounds are modulated by the acoustic resonance chamber of the trumpet. The trumpet is simultaneously a transmitter and a receiver.

Birgit Ulher studied the visual arts, which still has an important influence on her music. Since the early eighties she has been involved in free improvisation and experimental music.Since then she has ‚established a distinguished grammar of sounds beyond the open trumpet sound‘ (jazzdimensions.de). Her work includes solo-performances, as well as dance-projects, beside her working-groups she plays often in occasional / once only groupings and collaborates with improvisers all over Europe and USA.
Current projects include the solo project ‚Radio Silence No More‘, duos with Ute Wassermann, Gino Robair, Damon Smith, Heiner Metzger, Gregory Büttner, Nordzucker (with Lars Scherzberg and Michael Maierhof) and the trio with Lou Mallozzi and Michael Zerang.
