as part of the Long Evening of Galleries
The Greifswald sound artist and author Martin Hiller uses cassette recorders and tape loops to create live looped music between playfully experimental sound art and elegiac sound sculptures.
Live recorded samples of known and unknown material are interwoven on several specially made magnetic tape loops and collaged into an immersive listening experience that seems strangely out of time and takes the audience on a proverbial journey in which fragments of world-famous pop music can sometimes become completely new surfaces. The result is an organic, sometimes abstract, sometimes familiar-looking music with a kinship to avant-garde cut-up art, Plunderphonics and romantic, weedy ambient escapades of the 1970s.
Martin Hiller has been making music in various contexts for more than two decades. On his label "Kwaunder Keun Recordings" he releases material from his rich pool of contextually nested recordings. He publishes his books through his own publishing house "Kran und Weuke".
