Oorsprong is a tube, a line in a forest, a sound sculpture. Acoustics to be revealed. Activated by entering, it becomes a giant flute producing a tone that is so low, the body crashes into waves of pure pressure instead of sound. Untranslatable energy. CERCHI CERCHI is a quest in a forest to find traces of that untranslatable sound, its impact, its imprint, its memory. A hide and seek in which the body is concealed in the instrument, becoming its second voice, hidden but exposed.
--
I
whistling, organ pipe, voice
A whistle, a whisper, a play of breath. Echoes of a low pulse, colliding into each other.
Party in the background, a coach blows a whistle, a haunting scream echoes the whistling from inside, kids returning from a party.
II
voice, whistling
To give away your voice, a gesture. The initiative for an introduction.
Birds chirping, an F16 piercing through the sky.
III
kaval
A circular breath gently caresses a line of circles, making its surface ringing.
Birds chirping, voices of kids, kids shouting, the door of Oorsprong closes.
IV
oorsprong, two bass recorders
When tuning becomes rhythm, when rhythm becomes a beat of breath. A beat underneath the beating of tones. Feedback of flutes.
The clanging of 2 bass recorders, the ventilator of Oorsprong is turning on.

In Oorsprong, a sound installation by Hans van Koolwijk, we hear Lukas De Clerck playing Kaval, one Organ pipe, bass recorders and his voice, revealing the different acoustic qualities of the space.
The interactions were recorded by Stijn Demeulenaere.
Foam and Sand's tape loops are pretty, dammit, but instead of telling (and selling) you as such, these modular synth- and piano-made recordings shift with the many moods of meditation — they crest, recede, weep and grind. https://www.vikingschoice.org/archive/ambient-pop-finnish-black-metal-brazilian-free/ Lars Gotrich

texture-rich musicscapes stitched w extreme care. Uwe always listens deeply to every tiny aspect of that which flows from his monitors. in Drei Formen he brings us imo one of his finest works. every delicate detail of field recording and instrumentation has been harnessed and beautifully transferred to the listenable medium. highly recommended, esp for hphones.
