Dope Beat Rosengarten

A technoid-sounding quarter-note rhythm, the tempo unusually slow for techno. A smooth and wispy groove. Conceptually raw and open – embedded in a thousand tiny thorn pricks, whispering roses, 24 rattling, noisy oscillators and an overgrown bramble of roses. Bringing together abstract experimental sounds and danceable electronic beats is the concept behind V:NM Clubnight, which has taken place in Graz at the V:NM Festival since 2009. That same year Gernot's Heavy Dope Beats and Elise's Digital Rose Garden fused for the first time into Dope Beat Rosengarten. Years later in April 2012 a concert at the festival New Music for Data Base Sound in Ljubljana gave rise to this album that was put together with love and passion. One track in four parts with three transitions. Total time 48:48. recording & mixing: Gernot Tutner & Elisabeth Schimana at moonbootz recordings studios / Niesenberger, Graz, final mix & mastering: KABELTON, rose projections based on an idea by Elisabeth Schimana: Norbert Math, graphic design: Elisabeth Kopf, photo: Rainhard Mayr, translation: Kimi Lum.
