<DIV>Dear friends,<BR><BR>trente oiseaux proudly presents:<BR><BR><BR>bernhard
günter / heribert friedl ATARAXIA
TOC053<BR><BR>Ataraxia is the
result of a through-the-mail collaboration project featuring Bernhard<BR>on
electric cellotar, xiao-shakuhachi, and (self-made) traverse shakuhachi, and
Heribert<BR>playing the Hackbrett (cymbalon). The music combines improvisation
and construction as<BR>well as instrumental playing and the use of sparingly
applied digital treatments. Flutes<BR>and cymbalon are played in rather
non-conventional ways more often then not, and, as the<BR>title suggests, the
overall atmosphere of Ataraxia is quite calm and contemplative while<BR>not
missing a some intense moments. A detailed description of its genesis is
included in<BR>the pdf liner notes found on the disc, along with some close-up
photos of our instruments.<BR><BR>We are both very happy with the outcome of our
collaboration, a kind of music neither of<BR>us has played before, and that has
grown from our working together. We will soon continue<BR>to work on our second
collaboration project 'Transformer'.<BR><BR>Ataraxia, TOC053 is now
available.<BR><BR><BR>Other news:<BR><BR>After the release of Ataraxia there
will be no further releases on trente oiseaux until I<BR>will have found a new
source of income, my financial means not allowing me to further<BR>invest in my
label. Trente oiseaux will remain active, and continue to distribute
its<BR>releases in the meantime. Transformer, the next CD by Heribert and me
will be released on<BR>Heribert's newly founded nvo label ( <A
href="">http://www.novisualobjects.com</A> ) by the end of 2005.<BR>(As a side
note: one of nvo's first releases will be a work by Steve Roden, who will
give<BR>a bamboo flute I made for him an important role in its creation - this
world has become a<BR>small one indeed.) Furthermore, I am still considering the
addition of an online download<BR>option to trente oiseaux's web shop, but
neither the technical, nor the financial aspects<BR>of this project have been
sufficiently clarified for the time being.<BR><BR>+minus will release a CD
comprising three re-mixes of +minus material, one by each of the<BR>trio's
members, on Esquilo Records, Portugal. My colleagues have already completed
their<BR>contributions, and I will begin to work on mine next week using an
excerpt of a live re-<BR>cording of our concert in Leeds. I intend to add a
couple of tracks to this existing part<BR>that will be part improvised and part
composed/constructed. I have also agreed to do a<BR>re-mix of a solo piece by
British guitarist Gary Smith that will constitute my first ever<BR>release as a
guitarist in spite of my playing the instrument for about 30 years.<BR><BR>Last,
but not least I'm looking forward to doing a sound installation and solo concert
at <BR>the Art Museum of Norrköping, Sweden on 27. July.<BR><BR><BR>All the best
to all of
you,<BR><BR>
