dacm - stéréotypie

asp 2027
release date: january 1, 2004

dacm is a collaboration between the musician peter rehberg (pita), and the singer tujiko noriko, whose songs bring softness and melody, and punctuate stéréotypie with moments of solace. stéréotypie is a choreographic and theatrical proposal which presents a world where setting and human bodies can belong to the same visual intention. this is a place where fiction permeates reality through the fantasy of perfection; where the friction between perfection and imperfection seems more attractive than ever.

as the body, seen as a draft, is made to strive towards perfection - the perfection of a dreamed body. this ideal, as a conglomeration of homemade fantasies, seems to unveil the limitations and the obsolescence of making a fantasy of physical and mechanical perfection come true, and also uncovers all the excitement attached to this fantasy, by fulfilling obsessions about norms and evenness together with a certain imperfection.

sight is the title of the fifth album by the electronic improvisation supergroup mimeo.

sight is a project inspired by stories of the american painter cy twombly that describe how he took up the occasional practice of drawing and painting blindfolded, creating art despite being unable to use the most obvious sense required for the task.

for the sight project each of the eleven members of mimeo spread across europe were asked to place approximately five minutes of sound anywhere they chose onto a blank sixty minute cdr. this was done independently of one another, with no communication between the musicians about how or where the music should be distributed on the disc.

this process was only completed after the musicians had spent considerable time considering the task at hand, trying to understand what their colleagues may be doing. finally in late 2006 the finished cdrs were sent to one group member, marcus schmickler, who then compiled all eleven discs onto one single cdr, superimposing the eleven pieces of music over each other to create a single work. this task was completed without listening to the music at any stage.

the cdr was then later sent to myself at cathnor recordings where it remained unplayed until it was sent to the pressing plant.

peter rehberg: work for gv 2004-2008 cd
release date: 31.10.2008
total time: 54:36

all audio made by peter rehberg 2004-2008. for the following gisèle vienne productions:

'i apologize' (2004)
'une belle enfant blonde' (2005)
'jerk' (2008)

text written and spoken by dennis cooperaction on ‘murder version’ by catherine robbe-grillet & jonathan capdevielle
mastered at piethopraxis, köln, june 2008
artwork by soma
photos by gisèle vienne

peter rehberg’s collaboration with the paris based puppeteer and choreographer, gisèle vienne began in 2001, with the production of the dacm piece ‘showroomdummies’, followed by ‘stereotypie’ in 2003.

in 2004, vienne started to direct under her own name and began to work on pieces collaborating on text with us author, dennis cooper. this cd is a document of selected audio parts of all gisèle vienne productions made between 2004 and 2008, except for the epic ‘kindertotenlieder’, whose audio material was presented on the various ktl releases in 2006 and 2007 (emego 084, emego 085).

the range here is vast from the upfront noise excess of the ‘i apologize’ (2004) tracks to the lonely synth passages which were used in ‘une belle enfant blonde’ (2005), and the sad coda used for ‘jerk’, which began as a radio play for radio france culture in 2007, before being adapted for stage in 2008.

the opening ‘murder version’ is a version of the recording ‘meurtre’ by catherine robbe-grillet & jonathan capdevielle, which was released as a single sided 12” vinyl in 2005 (ubeb 001), and is to be considered as a tribute to the alain robbe-grillet film ‘glissements progressifs du plaisir’ (1974).

although this material was intended for consumption in a theatrical setting, it has been edited with domestic use in mind ultimately representing that the grey zone where puppetry, literature, contemporary theatre & dance, visual art, and extreme computer music meet.

cover by soma

threatening new collaboration taking in parallel worlds of extreme computer music and black metal. ktl is stephen o'malley (sunno))), khanate) and peter rehberg (pita).

a six part collision amongst the increasingly fading prescences between the light and the dark. this work came about as the two were composing sound and music for a piece by gisèle vienne and dennis cooper, entitled 'kindertotenlieder'. it must be stated that this cd is not the soundtrack to said piece, but a separate project. however, elements may appear in the finished piece which is to be premiered in brest, france, march 2007.

pieces were recorded in a resistance fortress in southern france during a thunderstorm. others in a wintergarden drenched in the sunlight.

may 2008 reissue of pita’s second & (imho) best album ; gloriously remastered by marcus schmickler during the summer of 2007 to reveal even further layers of detail / grit. housed in a digipak replicating the original tina frank spec, booklet w/ new liners by david keenan. if any one album stands out above the miasma of late 90s/early 00s digital-noise scrape, it’s this one ... highly recommended, especially if you’ve never given it due course ...

brilliant late 90s harsh digital collage from peter “pita” rehberg; in my mind the finest thing he’s done...

a huge wall of surging, backwards chord changes (plundered from god-knows-where...) run through every fuzz / distortion / overdrive pedal / plugin simultaneously. unlike much disassociative “laptop” music, this has a palpable emotional heft to it... excellent stuff.

artwork by tina frank
re-issue consultantancy by russell haswell
liner notes by david keenan

‘get out’ was the second full length album release by pita (aka peter rehberg). the folllow up to the award winning ‘seven tons for free’. its harsh use of available computing devices made it popular both in and outside electronic music circles of the time, especially the 11 minute anthem like 3rd track.

david keenan in his liner notes states that ‘get out’ “...stands as the first major musical laptop statement in the same way that jimi hendrix’s are you experienced album spoke for the most extended instrument-specific modes of the electric guitar three decades earlier.”

out of print for over half a decade, now remastered and packaged in a 6 panel digipack. half the original edition was printed in red, the other in blue. this definitive edition comes in purple. extra content comes in the form of the 3 tracks which appeared on the the split 12” with kevin drumm released by boxmedia in 2000.

neither z’ev or pita need any introduction in these circles. these 2 heavyweights of experimental music have been associates for 2 decades. their creative collaboration came about after a meeting in 2004, which led to a monthly file exchange program in 2005.

instead of releasing results immediately it was decided to test the material in a live setting. performances were held in vienna and throughout the uk during 2006. ‘colchester’ is the final result of this process. a mesmerising and intense collision of z’ev’s acoustic percussion work and pita’s computer manipulation.

october 2007 release; a coruscating, corrosive (alliteration is fun...) collaborative work jointly composed/executed by marcus schmickler and peter “pita” rehberg.

it’s not all brimstone / hellfire throughout; the second piece devolves into subdued spectral smear after smacking us around for a bit with its fully-rectified stammer (which reminds of recent whitehouse more than anythings else...) ; other spots introduce jittery, off-axis grains that echo florian hecker’s recent work with wave geometry... but yes, for the most part this is the kind of ddd infighting that the two are known for in improvisational contexts (think marcus’ role in his duo w/thom lehn, peter in ktl...)

regardless of their modes of employ, these two are master frequency-range craftsman; both are in peak form throughout. highly recommended.

r/s (peter rehberg / marcus schmickler) - one (snow mud rain)
erstwhile 051

peter rehberg: computer
marcus schmickler: digital synthesizer, computer

peter rehberg (pita) and marcus schmickler have been two of the leaders in the electronic revolution of the last fifteen years, both on their own and in collaboration with others. one (snow mud rain) is the first duo cd from these two long-time friends and associates.

rehberg co-founded the massively influential mego label in 1994, and soon after began recording under the name pita. his first solo release, seven tons for free, came out in 1996 and was a kick in the teeth to all those who heard it, melding noise with techno in a blend the wire called ‘wilfully difficult’, a crucial formative statement for the then nascent eai world. since then, he’s continued in his ever-difficult path, both as a solo artist (get out, get down), and in groups such as ktl, rehberg & bauer, mimeo, and fenn’o’berg. recently, he’s been primarily focused on working with dance and performance pieces, with dacm, ktl and on his own, and now runs the editions mego label by himself.

schmickler has been involved with numerous projects over the past decade, including the seminal collective kontakta. while rooted in electronic music, schmickler also has a background in contemporary composition, having studied under prominent stockhausen collaborator johannes fritsch. as a solo artist, schmickler has created important works such as wabi sabi, sator rotas and param, as well as five cds under the name pluramon, including the just-released the monstrous surplus. he also has some long-standing electroacoustic collaborative projects, most notably with synth whiz thomas lehn, both in duo and in trio with keith rowe, and a gorgeous duo with pianist john tilbury, as documented on 2005’s variety. schmickler’s new solo release altars of science will be released later this month on the rehberg-run editions mego label.

rehberg and schmickler met up in march 2007, in schmickler’s piethopraxis studio in cologne, for two days of recordings. despite having barely worked together as a duo previously, the results were so successful that after two days, the record was basically completed. this is obvious when listening to the finished product, as a rawness and energy that hearkens back to the explosive power of early mego bursts from the speakers, further enhanced by the remarkable density and clarity of the recording.

fremdkorper
by peter rehberg
mosz
mosz 007 • 2006

if the sounds emanating from this disc seem alien, do not be alarmed. fremdkoerper, or "alienated bodies", is culled from a series of compositions peter rehberg constructed in collaboration with choreographer chris haring for a soundtrack to a live dance performance. you can't see the dancers, but you're invited into their alien world where bodies are absent, leaving behind shadows of their sweeping gestures, gentle flourishes, and violent peregrination. the music on this record is the infrastructure of the human body; at times it is pleasant, at others, horrifying.

since fremdkoerper was originally intended as a companion to the dance performance, it lacks the typical structure of his more conventional releases. epic drones lead into dramatic scores. moods change without warning. glitchy textures give way into thick, heavy tones. the transition from the subterranean rumble of opening track "mutisil" to the distorted raygun blast of "scream" is enough to reset your heartbeat (in fact, you can consider this press release fair warning). the hulking sine-wave drone of "1407" is quickly invaded by hungry extraterrestrials on "bite double." this is the record with which to test out your new stereo.

peter rehberg (b. 1968) is an electronic audio artist living and working in vienna, austria. he has given live performances, both solo and collaborative, throughout north and south america, europe, japan and australia. his resume of collaborators is as impressive as it is long, including luminaries such as sonic youth, amm, jim o'rourke, fennesz, zbigniew karkowski, kevin drumm, florian hecker, pan sonic, and keith rowe. rehberg took part in the 2nd göteborg art biennale (against all evens) curated by cm von hausswolff. fremdkoerper isn't rehberg’s first work with dancers. he's collaborated with tujiko noriko for two projects, as dacm, and is currently working with gisele vienne and dennis cooper on two new pieces.

the vinyl version of 2 is limited to 1,500 copies for the world and is presented in an old-style tip-on gatefold jacket with art-worked innersleeves. the 2xlp is pressed on 180 gram vinyl. a truly heavy collaboration.

ktl is stephen o’malley (sunno))), khanate) and peter rehberg (pita) - a threatening collaboration taking in parallel worlds of extreme computer music and black metal.

2 is the devastatingly beautiful four part follow up to the acclaimed self-titled debut and was recorded in a former abattoir in angers, as well as a 16th century manor in the extreme west of france. taking the blueprint that was laid out on the first record even further, with the ecstatic build up of ‘theme’, the near psychedelic ‘abattoir’, and closing with the twisted romanticism of ‘snow 2’. an upgrade both artistically and emotionally.

as with the first album, elements appeared in the finished version of the theatre piece ‘kindertotenlieder’ by gisele vienne and dennis cooper, which was premiered in brest, france, in march 2007.

stephen o’malley (soma) is a musician currently based in paris, france. he started the band sunno))) with greg anderson in addition to playing in the groups khanate, burning witch, ginnunngagap, æthenor, grave temple, and lotus eaters. he has collaborated with merzbow, julian cope, joe preston, attila csihar, lee dorrian, aaron turner, oren ambarchi, malefic, wrest, boris, earth, and z’ev. he is also a well respected graphic designer and does artwork and album covers for most of his own projects.

five years ago, 'faßt' declared itself to be entirely made up of the ‘mistakes’ and system errors of the digital processes rehberg & bauer had used in its making, thus finding themselves at the front end of an emerging tendency in new music that came to be known as ‘glitch’... frustratingly to those actively involved, because it freeze-framed the more critical dimension of such works into a genre that quickly became a gliché.

following faßt and ballt, and originated live on their tour of australia last year, passt completes rehberg & bauer's trilogy for touch; as such, it provides a window through which to monitor the progress (and atrophy) of this phase of development, now that the laptop seems as commonplace as the electric guitar.

visitors to last year’s sonar 2000 festival might have witnessed the spectacle of rehberg & bauer joining forces with merzbow, hecker, lopez, haswell et al under the sobriquet of the laptop orchestra – in itself a wake-up call, a performance wherein those with nothing to show you were being videoed, en masse, by those with nothing to watch.

a year on, those with nothing to say are busier than ever, producing cds whose distinguishing exteriors give listeners nothing to look at. in 2001, surface abstraction is easily output. passt therefore is an attempt to relocate this mode of music– making into something once again more progressive.

originated live on their tour of australia last year [what is music @ big_day out, sydney/revolver, melbourne and palladium, sydney], passt completes rehberg & bauer's trilogy for touch, following fa§t and ballt. 'revolver', tracks 7 to 13, is a recording of the gig itself in melbourne. the other tracks were edited from elements of the shows and then mastered. the venues where the recordings were made vary in character: palladium - sleazy, red light district, urban decay: revolver - classy, good p.a.: the olympic stadium [what is music festival] - held 70000 pissed aussies and featured red hot chilli peppers, nine inch nails etc. you can imagine... the introduction is provided by eric mitsak, some kind of local celeb, but now a cult figure and destined for, um, we are not quite sure. we are sure, however, that he'll crop up again.
