Severino Pfifferling - Musik für Spülmaschine und Synthesizer
The melodic and methodical jet of water in cyclic motion. Intense heat causing almost dreamlike stasis. Severino Pfifferling extracts the circulatory sounds of the Spülmaschine (dishwasher) and provides them with an orchestra via synthesizer. This is a long awaited union, fortunately finally available from the Cologne, Germany label Strategic Tape Reserve.
Yes, this combination does sound far fetched and almost incomprehensible. The genuineness though, is within the sounds of this composition. The listening experience for this description started without knowing definition the German word Spülmaschine. Just pressed play on the cassette and sunk into the mysterious world of Severino Pfifferling, there was never a correlation between the sounds recorded from the washer. After reading Strategic Tape Reserve's bandcamp description and listening again, almost all of the intricacies of this kitchen work horse could be understood. Severino's synthesizer adding alien notes to a rumbling mechanical engine working through it's processes. The marriage of both mediums becoming so much more than their separate sonic entities. These are experimental sounds with incredible composure. At times Musik für Spülmaschine und Synthesizer seems like an OST to a suspenseful science fiction movie. Very well done.
Strategic Tape Reserve had fun with the artwork for this release. A surreal picture of Severino Pfifferling in back jacket and button down with holding a small keyboard, microphone in stand aimed at an open Spülmaschine. The yellow Strategic Tape Reserve qualification alluding to the classic sounds of the Deutsche Grammophon label. The complete artwork of the cover juxtaposing both playfulness and seriousness. Musik für Spülmaschine und Synthesizer is released in cassette format in a very limited edition of thirty. All physical editions are sold out from the label, but the digital version is available for listening and purchase.
