| Mystery of the Leaping Fish
FLUXRECORDS opus 15 "Dating back to tapes that I recorded late night off the radio in my teens. Later the whales were transfered from tape to multitrack. While experimenting with drugs one night it occured to me that I could construct a sonic cybernetic entity that would be able to communicate underwater. Grand Lodge of the Deep?" |

FLUXRECORDS opus 111 "Feedback as the means of production. "The class which has the means of material production at its disposal has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it." (Marx & Engels) T.W. Adorno provides these words: "Wir sind Emmigranten im lautlosen All." We are immigrants in silent space." |

FLUXRECORDS opus 104 "The guy from the ad agency called me up. "Frank we've heard so much about you. We want something, you know, funky. It's for the California Lottery. The messenger is on his way over with the tape." So I ran out, borrowed a video tape machine, figured out how to sync to picture, and then scored something really quick. This was my first soundtrack. Of course the music by a former Devo member was used in the final ad. I even forgot to invoice them." |

FLUXRECORDS opus 106 "Beneath the shadowy foliage of sounds is concealed the golden fruit of truth" |

FLUXRECORDS opus 7 "This is a tape collage with a random pulse and it contains sonic bits from the 3 sources I had available: radio, TV & vinyl. All material was collected on cassette tapes and then assembled on a reel-to-reel machine via overdubbing. The title refers to my first LSD experience in Greece the year before." |

FLUXRECORDS opus 105 "For a while I would be up and awake only at night and tried to sleep during the day. I had a studio set up in the basement with all the equipment on the ground. During this time I began to experiment with sounds that could only be derived by feeding the sounds of a tape recorder back to itself while it was recording. An object that is aware of its own sounding is a metaphysical proposition, a "deus ex machina" which I found most fascinating, as this feedback system has the tendency to make its own music while I was merely following where it wanted to go. This compositional strategy was the only one that let me stay awake during the wee hours. So AKIa/feedback has a strong feeling of a sonic séance, as if a nocturnal spirit tries to manifest itself in this world." |

FLUXRECORDS opus 109 "It was out of necessity that I built my first electronic sound generator. It was made from guitar effects, a tape machine and organ parts. New configurations or programs could only be obtained by rewiring and sometimes by using the human body as a conductor of electricity. Bionics? Perhaps." |

FLUXRECORDS opus 163 "Alfred asked me if I wanted to remix his complete works and he send me copies of all of his vinyl records on about 10 Digital Audio tapes. I sampled some key moments (with John Zorn a.o.) and then scored around the material a mirage that appears in the middle of the desert to a bunch of followers of the IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) sect. They could not really decipher what it meant or if it meant anything at all, but that might be due to dehydration. So drink some water before you listen." |

FLUXRECORDS opus 110 "Ich is German for I which in this case is made up of field recordings plus a spaced out organ." |
||
FLUXRECORDS opus 4 "The most remarkable Ulrike executes a score here that works with symbols and divides time into equal durations. These spans of time are filled with binary sequences. At the time, time is also slowed down, sped up and reversed. Does this sound like witchcraft?" |

FLUXRECORDS opus 5 "This is the overture to Heiner Müller's Quartett, a play by this german author that starts with the French Revolution and ends in a bunker after the Third World War. On opening night the music proved to be very controversial." |

FLUXRECORDS opus 3 "Score with same modus operandi as the whole Fisch II series, here applied to the magic chord sequence of Fmaj7 Gmaj7 Cmaj7." |
||
FLUXRECORDS opus 227 "The most elemental tone is a sine wave. Although it does not exist in nature, all sounds can be synthesized via summation of sine waves. These waves are more than elemental as they describe a perfect circle. A circle has an infinite number of points with equal distance to the center, each point is both the beginning and the end. As Aristotle mentions: "Anaximander asserted that the source and element of existing things is the "infinite" ... He says that it is neither water nor any of the other so-called "elements" but of another nature which is infinite, from which all the heavens and the world-orders in them arise". But how do they arise from something that is from another nature? I have in my possession two tube-powered Hewlett-Packard sine wave generators that were used to control the speed of tape machines by the Hollywood movie studios. With these I will proceed to answer the question in the alchemical style. One last word of caution: Without good headphones Sine/0-12++ can not be heard." |

FLUXRECORDS opus 187 "alchemical operations revisited" |

FLUXRECORDS opus 186 "hcI is Ich backwards, Ich is German for I. Whatever you may have heard about backward tapes and the secret messages contain therein is all true. It is the idea that you can reverse time and start to move backward instead of forward, which would allow you to experience some sort of Utriusque Cosmi Historia or History of the Two Worlds. So here in hcI this process is applied to the 15 years older Ich." |

FLUXRECORDS opus 230 "Conceptual theater piece. I talk about the development of the symphonic form." |
