More Info Das Zusammenfliessen von Technik und Naturalgeräuschen (Bäume) läßt sich bei dieser Komposition von Mark Behrens beobachten.. “Integration is a composition that Marc Behrens has been performing live in several versions. It was composed in a process of integrating all experiences made throughout almost one year of performing the basic score. With every performance, new aspects were added to the whole piece. In all the performances there is a basic repertoire of sounds consisting of a nucleus of tree recordings made in a mountain forest close to the Italian/Slovenian border in 1998, which in the performance arrangement became broadened with more recent material. The tree recordings were made by shaking the trees, thus the patterns of the sounds were generated partly by the plants, partly by human intervention, and arranged later according to coincidences and inherent keys in the material. The CD version does neither contain any live recordings nor the original sound of the auxiliary speakers which were specifically made for the performances. For this version Marc Behrens used the tree recordings along with a few field recordings of urban infrastructure, made during the preparation of the composition Advanced Environmental Control and later, preserving the original intention of the first performance: integration of a naturalistic and a technicized conception of sound.” [label press release] www.sirr-ecords.com
