(2010 / 2012)
by Knut Remond
A tape piece for 4 mini fans, 2 lint shavers, pick-ups, V256 (Vocoder) 1 Boss mini mixer, 1 gooseneck microphone, 1 Roland Mobile Cube, and 2 micro amps.
With exhibition of the handbag electronics
From Berlin to Belgrade: A jet aircraft, a Boeing of Jat Airways. I had a seat at the window with a view to the wing, the overtone turbo-jet-engine sounded inspiringly. My "handbag electronics" in the cabin luggage, wrapped in synthetic purple, containing: 4 mini fans, 2 lint shavers, pick-ups, 1 Boss mini mixer, 1 Roland Mobile Cube, and 2 micro amps.
It's a live performance on several days in the military museum "Kalemegdan" (Battlefield Fortress), in the middle of the highest point of Belgrade and above the Sava river.
Live on Tape: Belgrade
In a narrow, long vaulted Byzantine space with several vaulted niches on both sides (I first thought it was a ballroom for staggering Draculas for a B-movie), a fortress space (merely...) of the Belgrade Military Museum, there in Kazamati the "Echo Festival" took place, an event or rather performances with participants from Serbia and Switzerland (see below), including my solo piece Live on Tape Belgrade.
... in the middle of countless spaces i was looking for a sound box for my handbag electronics. I balanced between soldier's memorial plaques, dented projectiles, bombs, missiles and rusty grenades. At the same time I heard the grinding and sucking of the vampire's eye teeth from the damp, exfoliated and dusty walls. I discovered a wooden caisson, tucked it under my arm and placed it in one of the numerous niches. On the cover I sticked my pick-ups and placed the mini fans and the lint shavers. The cannonballs on the floor became my seats.
