<Falte>

Falte is methodically based upon a technique invented by the surrealists entitled «exquisite corpse». A method by which a collection of words, images or sounds are assembled collectively in sequence, either by following a rule or by delivering and making visible the «ending» of what has been created previously. This procedure has a resemblance to an old parlor game entitled «consequences», in which the players write alternately on a sheet of paper, fold it to conceal part of what they wrote and pass it on for further contribution. Based on this process a series of compositions by schurer > steinbrüchel was presented in september 2006 as an eight channel surround sound installation at the Kunsthaus Zurich, accompanied by a four channel visual contribution by Yves Netzhammer. The version on this CD documents a condensed, slightly more composed and therefore differentiated form of folding. Edition of 300. Hand numbered. Individual tracks and track durations are not listed on the sleeve. Total time: 57:24. Issued in an asymetrical fold-out cardboard sleeve with softened stud.
