Norbert Möslang - Header_Change

from Vital Weekly # 594:

Usually releases on Cut deal with improvised music of some acoustic kind in combination with electronics and/or computers. These two new releases however deal solely with computers, and it works in a good way and in a bad way.
To start with the latter. I have been a big fan of Voice Crack, of Möslang/Guhl and of the various solo releases by Möslang, but his 'Header_change' I don't like one bit.
It's titled after the 'practice of changing the values in the header code of a data file' and Möslang does something like that to stills of video artist Silvie Defraoui.
The audio files were pressed to vinyl and mixed live. To me it sounds like easy time stretched material which is put into a multi-track program and spiced with some delay and reverb. Unfortunately it sounds too much like the first experiments of someone who just downloaded some music software. I pass on this one.
