For a couple of years now, I have been thinking about how history and memory can be narrated in sound. The new album Ghosts and Echoes collects different approaches to this, ranging from a mixed-media narrative about industrial work with Christian Z. Müller (a companion piece to our Gasworks) to a drone/noise piece involving the voice of my late grandmother, working at the intersection of the very personal and the very political in that she talks about fighting fascism, and an instrumental meditation about decolonisation. In addition to Christian Z. Müller, my thanks go out to Georg Weckwerth at TONSPUR Vienna, Elisabeth Zimmermann at ORF Kunstradio, Stefan Tiefengraber at Tresor Linz, and Julia Zemanek aka The Bassenger, who in various ways contributed to making this album possible.
