Notes on Noise 01 Hoffmann´s Hymn

What looks like a beefy sea cucumber sunk in a toaster without casing is actually a computer-controlled organ of speech. From a YouTube clip of the singing latex mouth montaged after and next to itself, Norbert Pfaffenbichler generates an unconventional collage of images. Loops, duplications, and interferences ultimately condense the solo voice to a noisy-experimental drone composition— an Austro-Japanese audio-visual mosaic.
