e millar & christof kurzmann – rare entertainment

“As the icesnow fell, the wind was guide to a horizontal blinding effect as tiny darts hit one’s eyes. And so it became easier to commit to walking with them closed. The upside of this was that I could now better hear the crystals hitting every surface around me. Metal, plastic, glass, concrete, branches, trash bags, the roofs of buses; all had their signature sound. I could register all angles and reflections, points of contact and ricochet, to situate myself in space. I felt anchored in some strange new way.” – from the liner notes by Steve Bates

This recording is the first meeting between electropop / new music / improviser Christof Kurzmann from Austria and Canadian/Australian sound artist Elizabeth Millar.
