FOSILPA from RADIO REPORTS by Artificial Memory Trace
2. Fosilpa 47:57 (23.6.-5.9.1997)
--- - -Subjective documentary from Inside and Around of stalactite caverns Han Sur Lesse from years 1993-1997)))
With participation of:
Pierre Berthet: tubular water-drums installed under dripping stalactites and distributed in space (amplification of water-activity and of resonant character of space), drumming on stalactites, wood-block, steps. "Tubuls" are present in various situations and transformations almost in all parts of composition. (1996-1997)
Ward Weis: recordings, stones, steps (1997)
Guy Bosendorf: assistance to all recordings, patient guidance through darkness of caverns, voice and whistling, steps and lead-vocals of his loved chickens. (1993-1997)
Robert Bosendorf: tel-dialogue with his father imitating monkey. (1993)
Tony Di Napoli: drumming on stalactites. (1996)
Slavek Kwi: recordings (1993-1996), whirling ppball, reed from bombard, concept and composition.
95% of Sounds, heard in composition, were created from basic-recordings realized Inside & Outside in close environment of caverns Han s/Lesse, and 5% from situations connected with this project from irrational reasons: a) Incredibly long natural reverberation from TV-transmitter-tower St.Pietersleeuw (1997): distant duo of Slovakian flute (W) & reed from bombard (K), solo-flute (K), gongs and water-drops falling in metal bowl from 75m high. Played & recorded by Ward Weis (W) & SKwi (K). b) Processed fragments from piano-improvisation with rain drumming on window, played & recorded at evening after first visit of caverns in 1993 (K). c) ... and a lot of thanks to all (in)voluntarily participants in Fosilpa: Brume ("elekrikal" sound re-processed), Baudouin De Jaer (talking about his music), Tibetan Buddhists (singing mantras), David Bowman (voice), small Louis Evrard (screaming while playing with stones, 1994 in Switzerland), Brigida Romano (fragment from SKwi composed piano-piece).
