Biokinetics

Hamburg harbor becomes rhythm on Biokinetics. Porter Ricks shift the pulses so slowly that repetition starts to feel tidal, with pressure changing before the pattern seems to move. Echospace later followed that engineering almost directly, but the physical sensation is already complete here. One idea, carried further than almost anyone has carried one.

Hydrophones, harbour noise and Chain Reaction's reverb, assembled into something closer to a body of water than a record. Köner came from sound art and Mellwig from engineering, and the combination has never been repeated.

Hydrophones and harbour noise through Chain Reaction's reverb. Less an album than a body of water you are briefly inside.
