Wieder eine Vermischung von Musik- und Objekt-Kunst auf dem Arneimer Label, auf diesem (nach Jahren!) neuen Release auf WATZMANN von unseren Lieblings-Drone-Plunderphoniken VANCE ORCHESTRA. Das Konzept: Alte 78rpm–Schellack-Platten wurden sozusagen recycled, d.h. mit 45rpm VANCE – Musik bespielt (mit Hilfe einer besonderen Beschichtung). Unglaublich, aber wahr !
Das klingt dann nach besonders schwankenden und leierigen Loops, wo sich kurioserweise von der Originalpressung auch noch Soundbestandteile abbilden... somit ist jede der 200 (pro box 2 10“es) ein Unikat !
In fetter, von allen Seiten siebbedruckter Kartonklappbox, designed von Mars Wellink !

“This second Rund um den Watzmann release by Vance Orchestra is nicely packaged in a cover designed by Mars Wellink, who is also a part of this cool collective. The rather abstract music is not pressed in good old vinyl this time. Especially for this production a new material was designed to carry the music. A thin, transparent layer has been added to vintage Shellac 78 rpm records. These layers carry the tracks made by Vance Orchestra. The result of this complex but unique process is that the new soundscapes are surprisingly under the influence of the original music.
One of the key ideas behind this project is recycling. Obviously, using old 78 rpm records as carriers is the ultimate way of re-using otherwise for many people unplayable records: The new tracks must be listened to at 45 rpm, the backside is still the original 78 rpm side.
Adding to the idea of recycling is the wonderful handmade silkscreened cardboard fold-out cover.Several years of research and development resulted in a worthy follow up of the very succesful Knoth box, one of the last Rund um den Watzmann releases.” [label description]
