Mugress

In late 2022, STMWK commissioned a collaboration of S.Krausen (painting and sounds thereof) and Ypsmael (electroacoustic improvisation). During two sessions on 24th and 25th February 2023 at Kinderinsel's basement atelier, Munich, live iterations of Mugress (200 x 96 cm, ink, oil, acrylic on canvas) and corresponding sound collage were performed, recorded and parts a1 - b2 subsequently extracted/collated in audacity. In the resulting audio, S.Krausen used paintbrushes, canvas and other materials. Ypsmael used S.Krausen's brushstroke sounds, audio artefacts, electromagnetic and feedback devices, amplified objects, sipsi, slidewhistle, voice, fx pedals and field recordings (Ghiese on a2). Track 4 is a collaboration with NM that appears on a limited edition audiovisual split release (private) named Reservoir 23, alongside audiovisual work by Josephin Boettger and Felix Kubin.
