HOPEK QUIRIN & ANTON MOBIN & KRIS LIMBACH (CD by Emitter Micros)

A disc of improvised music, but with some curious ideas and instruments. I am not sure if any of these three players ever was in Vital Weekly, but here we have Hopek Quirin (bass, efekts, diktaphone), Kris Limbach (drums, rotors and microphones) and Anton Mobin (prepared chamber, cassettes). Especially the 'prepared chamber' gave me some thinking. What is that? The music was recorded on January 27th 2012 at Emitter19, but then the cover says: 'mixed separatly by Anton Mobin and Hopek Quirin & Kris Limbach', which is also something that left me a bit puzzled. How am I to envisage this 'mixed separately' exactly. I honestly couldn't tell. There are seven pieces from these sessions on this disc, and these are all quite interesting mixtures of the instruments, bass and drums, on one side and whatever else, more electronic, goes on. Sometimes it all seems be put together in a rather random fashion, but then some of these pieces sound strangely (?) coherent, such as 'Ymalspium', with its rhythm provided by 'rotors' on the cymbals, or the deep drones from diktaphone rumble on 'Adioscoper'. It seems that the pieces which are a bit longer, are also the ones which are a bit more chaotic. There is a curious lo-fi element in this music, which works quite well, but which is hard to pin down. Hardly any post processing is used, and the bass and drums sound usually as god intended, but there is so much other stuff going on, in the area of electro-acoustics which mingle very nicely with exactly that kind of free play of those instruments that it sounds like processed. A very refined raw diamond.

For Radio On, episode #2

Rinus van Alebeek and Adrian Shephard emitting from Berlin


For Radio On” 
According a 6 months strategy i will contribute to Radio On program with 6 episodes of 45 minutes. Two episodes must fill on a c90, with documentation. Those 6 episodes will be a kind of reflexion around cassettes, a tribute to the “tape in a box” which celebrates his 50 years in 2013. Lang Leve Lou Ottens !


This special program for Radio On can be also considered as an outlet of what goes on in my laboratory under the roof, with the aim to look for new personal ways to use cassette tapes in my live performances and as materials in my work of composition.

Episode #2 - Summer Road Trip

The sources materials have been recorded on cassettes during the a road trip from Paris to Barcelona, by way of Orléans and St-Laurent-de-Céris, between 20 august and to Barcelona 10 september 2012.

Thought as a report, Summer Road Trip is taking during the process a real form of composition.
The chronology of the journey is broken to leave place to another story.

Many contrainsts for this projects make me think totally differently from the original idea of report.
I recorded so many hours of sounds during this travel, on cassettes, dictaphone (which i didn’t use for this piece) and on Nagra recorder (which i tried to not use a lot in the composition).

As a part of this challenge for Radio On is to dedicate the program to 2013 = c50, i concentrated more on the recordings fixed on tapes.

Another constraint is to fill the role of face B on the first cassette "For Radio On".

The process of production turns out to be totally deconstructed according what i used to do, strictly without any precise idea on what will be the shape of this composition.

I hope Summer Road Trip could be a radiophonic piece for the art of listening, a fluid narration between familiar elements recorded in various locations. It combines tape manipulation, radio edition, multi-tracks recordings and improvisation.

Some protagonists were recorded without knowing their free will, some did not notice, others saw the microphone : many thanks to Mesdames Baron, Lysvia Maïz, Alice, julio Lloco, Nino, Solal, Lucia C. Pino, Oscar Martin, Mikel R. Nieto




SUMMER ROAD TRIP
by Anton Mobin

Summer Road Trip is a composition based on five cassettes recorded during the road trip from Paris to Barcelona during 20 August and 10 September 2012.
Three cassettes are field recordings captured in each city-stage of this travel and articulated around railway tickets played with a tape head in the car.

Tape 1 : Paris - Orléans


Tape 2 : Orléans - St-Laurent-de-Céris

Tape 3 : St-Laurent-de-Céris - Barcelona
Tape 4 : edit

This cassette is an attempt of real time compositions (not specially succesful) with the magnéto Sony TC-D5M, recording trivial sounds, voices, nature, dictaphone and the Nagra. One track composed in Orléans, another made in St-Laurent-de-Céris and two tracks fixed in Barcelona, one in the hotel, used in track “La Realidad” and one in the mEtamina studio, used as an intro of Summer Road Trip.
Tape 5 : improv
'
A complete dark side A of free improvisation with Julio Lloco in his studio at La Petite Fuie ; Julio is playing Moog, Jew's harp, effects and me on various cassettes players and Lloco’s homemade percussions. A few parts of this session have been integrated in Summer Road Trip.

details:

track 1 have been composed in Barcelona and is fixed on tape 4.
trachs 3 and 10 are raw recordings captured on Nagra and re-recorded on tape during the road trip.
tracks 5 and 9 underwent the same treatement.
tracks 4 &  8 features sounds of Julio Lloco from the tape 5.
tracks 5 & 13 features sounds improvised with Helmut P on the webradio mEtamina.
tracks 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12 are mixed form composition produced in Paris in 2013 developping radio edition, collage and improvisation with the five Summer Road Tapes.
track 13 is the utlimatest cut of the improvisation with Helmut P on turntable for the webradio mEtamina.

tracklist :

01 - Servo mEtamina (2:22)
02 - AAAAA (5:52)
03 - hAntic (2:57)
04 - Buddhic progress (3:15)

Estas son algunas de las bandas y proyectos con las que me he cruzado durante diferentes conciertos en diversas ciudades de Francia entre el 2010 y el 2012 . Ellos amablemente aceptaron dar sus tracks para este compilado. Es solo una muestra parcial de lo que he visto, escuchado y compartido, hay muchas cosas que están pasando ahora en Francia sobretodo a nivel subterráneo y que son difíciles de plasmar en un formato de publicación. La vida fluye y no espera a que hagamos abstracciones de ella, así que esto es solo una mirada/oída a una metamorfosis.

For Radio On, episode #1

 

Radio On
(Adrian Shephard on an eloquent collection of vintage instruments and Rinus van Alebeek)
broadcast interviews, concerts, talk radio and perform live.
We have contributed radio programmes to framework, radio zero, radia network, H.A.K. and dfm.
Radio On creates a radiophonic setting, often evolving around an improvised narration.
Radio On is continuously on Air.

---

Here my new radiophonic challenge for 2013 !

Guests on Tape (Scénario Possible) by Anton Mobin is the first episode in a series of six, especially made for Radio On. It will première on Monday 15. April at 15.00 hrs Berlin time.

LISTEN > http://radioon.out.airtime.pro:8000/radioon_a 

The broadcasting schedule of Guests on Tape will be announced during the show on Monday, and on this page.



Anton Mobin (Paris)

According to ‘the six month strategy’  Anton will prepare six episodes of flexible length. For the collector, fan, musicologist each episode will become available on cassette tape. The works will offer a philosophical as well as a ceremonious take on the cassette tape as a medium, which is now in its 50th year.

Radio On has chosen Anton Mobin because we know him well. You don’t? His weblogs can tell you more about his work as a radio producer, a label owner and an artist.

Episode #1 – Guests On Tape (Scénario Possible)

Scénario Possible is the recording of a revisited solo set in which Anton Mobin plays Friends. All the sounds have been contributed by befriended artists. Most of them have been recorded in his little laboratory under the roof, the Maïzing Studio. The recordings have been edited, processed or badly treated. Others were safe. Then all material has been recorded onto tape, one artist per side or sometimes one artist on a complete cassette.

The tracks are real-time compositions recorded live on 25 february 2013, played with three cassette players, a walkman and a dictaphone.

GUESTS ON TAPE (Scénario Possible) by Anton Mobin

Tracklist :
01- Stross
02- Ennemis de la Musique
03- Soufflante
04- La pulsation
05- Geronimo
06- Lelales
07- Triscape
08- S’imaginer la réalité
09- Multide
10- For Rinus
11- Interlude

Featuring :

DMC – turntable (tracks 1, 6, 9) 
Ismaël Colombani – voice, violin (tracks1, 7)
Benedict Taylor – viola (tracks 2, 4) 
Naoto Yamagishi - drums (tracks 2 ,4)
Louis Laurain – trumpet (tracks 3, 5)
Pierce Warnecke – field recordings (track 4)
Bryan Lewis Saunders – voice (track 6)
Carlos Groënland – analog ribbon synth (tracks 6, 8, 11) 
Chrs Galarreta – field recordings (track 7) 
Emmanuel Lalande - analog homemade synth (tracks 7, 9)  
Julie Rousse – electronics (tracks 7, 9)
Ayato - drumatix tr606 (track 8)
Rinus van Alebeek - a cut for 9 tapes from BSF Epsilonia (track 10) 
Anton Mobin – prepared chamber, bass, flute, vinyl, field recs, voice


“Guests on Tape” is nourished by all the precious meetings.  The composition celebrates the wealth of hallucinating sounds Anton’s guests offered. The result is a “big ensemble for tapes” in which all sounds are hijacked from their original context and presented in a new form.
