Thomas Köner - Nuuk

Köner uses sequences of images from webcams as raw material, which remains constant in his basic focuses. He has traces of people and their vehicles come to appearance acoustically, but not visually. The shift from day to night and the influences of the weather give motion to the segments. In this way, in his shortest work NUUK, which lasts just over 6 minutes, he condenses a total of 3,000 individual web images taken from the Internet into one scene. Despite the cinematic motion of the image, it seems like a still photo.

like the re-releases of teimo and permafrost this release on MPM sounds better than the original - ?remastered or a more modern A-D conversion of the tape master. some might prefer eg.permafrost where there's more sense of a soundscape and less of a 'tune' (this is all relative of course :)
standout for me is the final track where the pace and timing of the sounds is just awesome.
as usual big speakers are almost a prerequisite.

i expected a little bit more than time-lapse photography on the dvd but i guess it fits with the music. nothing compared to lights-out and just using your imagination though.
