If the sounds produced by marine organisms were stored in sediments in some way, they could be heard as a kind of “echo of the past”.
The sound installation “Sediments” plays with this idea.
It is as if one were experiencing the inaccessible, ancient and unfathomable nature of the deep sea in acoustic form, creating an immersive and almost otherworldly soundscape.
It reflects the mysterious and often frightening atmosphere of the deep sea, a place where the unknown is always present.

Noise of Cologne 3
As a rule, compilation series are released in a sequence of several months or years. “Noise Of Cologne” is different: Part 1 was released in 2010, part 2 followed in 2013 and the third part of the series is now available in 2024 – with a total of 73 one-minute contributions from various musicians, bands and projects from Cologne. The one-minute format forces the contributions to be condensed and “Noise Of Cologne 3” offers a varied spectrum of experimental music: from musique concrète, electronic music, field recordings and environmental music to soundscapes, no wave, computer music and post-minimal music to experimental club music, turntablism, ambient and hauntology. Above all, “Noise of Cologne 3” offers surprises: Trance synthesizers alongside vocal acrobatics and terror drums as well as numerous “unlikely combinations” (David Toop) – music not yet classified or rubricated: noise, if you will.
The CD compiled by Frank Dommert (a-Musik) and Dirk Specht (Therapeutische Hörgruppe) brings together musicians who have been contributing to the musical map of Cologne for years and decades, as well as those who are just starting out, trying things out, building something, getting loud, getting involved, contributing.
