A1 Walkman (6:11)
A2 Bilder Meiner Ausstellung (11:31)
This is a review about something that is no longer available in this form. Stefan Roigk 's single sided LP was also available in a limited edition of 20 copies with a bonus CDR. Roigk is a visual artist, who released in 2006 a catalogue of his work of sculptures along with a CD, which is also part of the edition of 20 copies. In his sculptures textiles play an important role, but also sound elements. On 'Up.Rising' you will find a pure sound installation, if I understood it well. Other things that were not easy to understand was the sound origins of this record. I believe it is based upon sounds from the building in which the exhibition took place. There is a lengthy description on the insert, dealing with space and air. But that is not easy to understand, nor does the music give that many clues. The music is collated together from various sound sources, a bit like Schimpfluch or Dave Philips would do. Short, loud sounds interrupt the general atmosphere. Even with missing a bit of the context in which this was produced, I found it all quite fascinating. Certainly something to hear and watch (the exhibition catalogue that is) and let your own imagination run wild.
