RAR – Raw Audio Recording #1
Gabi Schaffner/rawaudio/interdisciplinary artist

In my work, I try to encourage communicaton, non-hierarchic perspectives and sharing. This is why I like the amalgamation of
different media and the experimental shift of identity into/between different cultures. Within this frame, field recording is treated as a carrier of cultural concepts, just as (documentary) photography is a carrier of visually encoded cultural messages.

Music for Bathrooms and Toilets explores the intriguing melodies of running water within the human habitat. This CD presents a compilation of bathroom recordings and mixed audio material. Some pieces have been cut with samples from other fieldrecordings (mainly from Iceland) and free mp3- tracks from the internet. The intention is to create a relaxing atmosphere – not entirely without humour – for the pleasures enjoyed in a private restroom.

“Otto Möto” deals with the lost and found-again archives of Jyväskylä-born motor engine researcher and modern composer Martti Mauri (1935-2003). Experts herald Mauri’s avantgarde compositions as a forerunner of techno and new media music. And yes: This is another concept album by rawaudio. The track broadcasted, „ Otto Mötö“ , is based on fieldrecordings of Finnish motor (environment)s and was edited by Martin Moritz, Hamburg. This is NOT the final version!
