Out now on attenuation circuit! Bruital Voyage

A single uninterrupted transmission from bruitkasten @ Ebertplatz Cologne during a concert in September 2025.

Anja Kreysing (accordion & electronics) and Stefan Strasser (guitar & electronics) navigate dense sonic geographies of abstract texture and harmonic traces, where signals erode, tonal fragments emerge and disappear, and noise moves like weather across concrete structures. 

This soundtrack is shaped through realtime compositional interaction rooted in radical listening. Cinematic in scope and associative in form, the music of Stefan and Anja unfolds like an acoustic film without images – a voyage through unstable sonic landscapes that trigger a vivid cinema of the mind.

ORTentvined

ORTentvined is originally a quadrophonic fixed-media composition developed from recordings made at a former Nazi-era military complex, the ORT. This is a careful stereo-mixdown of the composition. 

The work constructs an acoustic architecture from entirely site-derived materials: brittle footsteps through overgrown blackberry vines, resonances of abandoned wooden and concrete floors, metallic fragments of domestic debris, and the shifting pressure of the surrounding landscape – the piece develops a spatialized aural architecture grounded in forensic listening. Through granular micro-processing and controlled diffusion techniques, these materials are transformed while retaining their latent physical and historical identities.

The composition unfolds across a seven-minute spatial trajectory in which exterior and interior sound zones gradually intersect and contaminate one another. Vines appear unexpectedly inside the spatial field, concrete resonances drift toward the front, and domestic shards punctuate the quadrophonic plane. A sustained electric-guitar drone plus a short accordion-shiver operates not as a musical gesture but as structural pressure, articulating the latent tensions embedded in the site.

Rather than reconstructing historical events, ORTentwined treats the location as an active acoustic witness. Its surfaces, materials, and resonant cavities reveal traces of the architecture’s past through sound alone. The listener encounters a sequence of tectonic shifts in density, texture, and spatial orientation. These shifts foreground listening as a method for approaching contested spaces and ecologies marked by abandonment, overgrowth, and unresolved historical presence.

ORTentvined positions sound as a primary mode of spatial and historical inquiry. It belongs to a contemporary lineage of post-cinematic, site-responsive sound works that privilege raw materiality, perceptual attention, and the unstable boundaries between ecology, architecture, and memory.

ORT entvined was premiered at 7th December 2025 in Uppsala, Sweden at LJUDBIO XI quadrophonia festival, SLOTTSBIOGRAFEN by Girilal Baars http://www.slottsbio.se/ljudbio/om_kompositorerna/om_ljudbioXI/

Thanks for having me with ORTentvined!
