The first joint Vinyl-Listen! performance by the two legendary vinylists Claus van Bebber and Philip Jeck as the final concert of intermedium 2.
The recorded disk has been one of Claus van Bebber's instruments since the early 70s and ever since then he has used it in his concerts, performances, installations and objects. Since 1990 van Bebber has developed forms of music and performance which are created exclusively with the use of records. In the record concerts van Bebber uses 5 to 10 partly prepared players and records.
With his orchestra of 50s and 60s record players, Philip Jeck turns djing into a performance and a meditative act, one in which he conjures up music from the noise or crackling, and elegant loops from a sticking pick-up arm. Jeck's interest is directed towards motifs of memory, he wants to preserve a certain sound experience in his work and to bring it back to life.
The different concepts and approaches, arrangements and arbitrary operations of the two vinylists Claus van Bebber and Philip Jeck will be revealed in dialogue form in Viny’l’isten.
