After our performances in Leipzig and Bochum this June, we’ve released the double single "tIED tO tONES" on July 3rd, presenting two songs from the performance of the same name by Camille O & Jule Flierl.
Hörigkeit and 70% Water
Both songs were played and recorded on one of our newest space harps. In Hörigkeit, Jule Flierl plays a string stretched overhead—which runs diagonally across the entire studio space—from the first note to the last. Jule strikes the metal wire with a thin stick in a steady rhythm and sings "Obedience and hearing / Sound the same in german / Our mother tongue suggests / Submit to the sound / submit to the message / ..."
Camille stands behind a wooden box—secured to the wall with tension straps—and plucks a dozen piano wires that stretch across the sound box and diagonally through the room. Some of the strings are shortened using hemostats, tuning the three bass notes for
70% Water "70% Water / Here come my tears / The language born of tears of joy / That we invent day by day / In which we speak for the first time / About ourselves / In which we feel understood / Is already forbidden /..."
Recordings of both songs are available to stream here.
This is the first release of the 1pp1 label, run by the 1pp1 collective.
