Realoase

as part of May he hetal?
Album Release, 2008
digital file, Autark aa05

Modified keyboards and hand crafted interfaces, build the basis for the music of may he hetal? Through this way, they are able to worm out some unexpected and opinionated sounds. Out of this sound archive rises their music, which is located somewhere between Ambient, Elektronica and Noise.

May He Hetal?

as part of FAXEN
Sound performance, 2006-2011
Modified keyboards, handcrafted interfaces, sound equipment

May He Hetal? | Rother Krebs, Linz/AT | ©Faxen

May He Hetal? is a music project by the artist collective FAXEN which explores the potential of inexpensive, second-hand electronics that produce sounds, such as keyboards, drum machines and electronic toys. Through radical manipulation of the circuits within these devices, one hears the sound of the hardware, which consists of a multi-layered realm of subtle and differentiated sounds. With an emphasis on improvisation and the capriciousness of the rebuilt instruments, FAXEN creates noisy electronic textures accompanied by occasional melodies and broken baselines.

T3

as part of FAXEN
16mm film loop, 2006
1m30s digitised video loop with sound

T3 is a work that literally cuts open the logic of storytelling in movies. In contrast to typical film editing conventions, FAXEN cut the actual 16mm found footage film strip lengthwise into three parts with a blade. Through this rearrangement, the film is compressed both spatially and temporally. The original scene bends to the physical intervention and highlights the materiality of film. T3 is shown three times in a loop.
