The CD-sized book devotes two pages to the procedure and some of the ideas behind it (notes by Georg Imdahl), then lists each recording, in blue text, one per page, in chronological order. The reader (the would-be listener) forms a mental image, visual certainly, perhaps aural, even olfactory of the place and time and imagines what the pair experienced. This is the second such collection, the first, published in 2007, follows the same structure, though with more notes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It’s a bit akin to Manfred Werder’s works, I think, of which I’ve questioned the need to actually record them rather than „doing it yourself“ and experiencing them directly. Here again, you’re at a remove from the action, simply thinking about what Korn and Riek heard and felt on these occasions and then chose to hide. There’s something magical about that. I dont suppose you’d want everyone doing it, but I’m very happy someone has. I like it a lot. <\/p>\n Frans de Waard | VITAL WEEKLY<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n Series Invisible | Christoph Korn<\/a> & Lasse-Marc Riek<\/a> <\/strong> Series Invisible –\u00a0Collection 2 | Christoph Korn & Lasse-Marc Riek Gruen 099 | BOOK\u00a0> [order] Collection 2 Collection 1 Reviews The book contains a detailed list of recordings and a detailed list of date and location of the erasure of these recodings!

\nIn photography, Roland Barthes writes, \u00bbit cannot be denied that the thing existed\u00ab. In Austerlitz, W.G. Sebald has his protagonist report that something dissolves exactly where he \u00bbmakes the effort to remember\u00ab \u2212 \u00bbthe darkness does not lift but becomes yet heavier as I think how little we can hold in mind, how everything is constantly lapsing into oblivion with every extinguished life, how the world is, as it were, draining itself, in that the history of countless places and objects which themselves have no power of memory is never heard, never described or passed on\u00ab.
\nThe logs of recording and deletion of \u00bbseries invisible\u00ab testify with very little data \u2013 location, recording, deletion, duration \u2013 that something happened. They are sounds that were recorded and deleted, not images. And yet does the invisible in the series title come full circle toward photography ? Concretely, the notes remind us of locations, persons, events, not least of the self-emptying of the world, of life annihilated, oblivion, which, partially and paradigmatically, is snatched from itself, of the process of recording and deleting, of memory itself.<\/p>\n

\nThe black square you see above is in fact a small booklet containing a list of locations where Lasse-Marc Riek and Christoph Korn captured a series of 50 field recordings. Dates, times, location and notes such as \u2018recorded from a row of bushes\u2019 are dutifully reproduced. More importantly they also note the date and time these recordings were deleted. For these recordings now exist only as words on pages and nothing else. The Roland Barthes quote \u2018it cannot be denied that the thing existed\u2019 as reproduced courtesy of Georg Imdahl\u2019s introduction says it all.
\nThankfully for the rest of us, and my aching brain, the remaining releases haven\u2019t been deleted. […<\/a>]

\nIn almost twenty years of reviewing audio art and experimental music for Neural I have run into several extremely \u2018tough\u2019 projects that cross a broad range of styles, formats and media. In the newsroom was the prevailing belief that we were ready for anything. It seems we were not \u2013 in fact, we never imagined we could encounter an album such as this \u2013 one that cannot but produce a wry grin in response. The project consists of only descriptions of the locations and times of the recordings captured, their duration and information regarding their subsequent deletion. Over time we have come across many very odd projects (some perhaps more terrifying and radical than this one). What remains here is an elegant booklet, proof of the procedure of recording certain spatio-temporal locations and the destruction of audio material ultimately transmuted into script. The authors point out that the choice of locations was purely personal and did not follow any systematic interests. In light of this, the stressing of the correct name of Franz Kafka as opposed to Frank Kafka on the paper of rectification, seems to us a bit suspicious and cryptic, seemingly referring to some extreme and paradoxical situation. In the introduction notes Georg Imdahl underlines that \u201csomething has happened\u201d and concretely the \u201clogs\u201d of Series Invisible remind us of the places, people, events, \u201cnot last the self-emptying of the world and of the defeated life\u201d: a kind of oblivion that is in some part detached from existence.

\nA leur collection de field recordings inaudibles mais quand m\u00eame retranscrits sur papiers (date d\u2019enregistrement et localisation, date d\u2019effacement et localisation, enfin, dur\u00e9e de la chose effac\u00e9e), Christoph Korn et Lasse-Marc Riek ajoutent aujourd\u2019hui un second tome : Series Invisible Collection 2.
\nComme hier \u2013 le premier volume peut \u00eatre consult\u00e9 ici \u2013, un petit livre noir atteste la br\u00e8ve existence d\u2019une cinquantaine de captations interdites de conservation : un CD, qui aurait pu \u00eatre vierge, aurait-il donn\u00e9 la preuve qu\u2019il n\u2019y avait d\u00e9sormais l\u00e0 \u2013 c\u2019est-\u00e0-dire pr\u00e8s de la mer \u00e0 Cascais ou \u00e0 la Baie des Tr\u00e9pass\u00e9s, dans un appartement priv\u00e9 de D\u00fcsseldorf ou sur la tombe de Kafka \u00e0 Prague\u2026 \u2013 plus rien \u00e0 entendre, m\u00eame pas la preuve de ce rien-l\u00e0 ?
\nAlors, les traces de ces sons perdus sont d\u2019encre, et si Barthes et Sebald servent au duo \u00e0 expliquer son geste, on osera, pour excuser leurs vains transports, le Beckett de Cap au pire : \u00ab A force de long vouloir \/ Tout vouloir envol\u00e9 \u00bb.

\nPostmoderne Field Recordings
\nUnd zum Schluss noch eine ganz besonders sch\u00f6ne Idee: in der \u201eSeries Invisible\u201c haben sich Christoph Korn und Lasse-Marc Riek zum zweiten Mal den Spa\u00df gemacht, eigene Feldaufnahmen schriftlich zu kartografieren, um sie danach zu l\u00f6schen und auch das L\u00f6schdatum mit in den Karteikarteneintrag hineinzuschreiben. Man liest in diesem sch\u00f6n schwarz gehaltenen Booklet also Dinge wie: \u201eLocation: Train Station, Record: 03.09.12, 2:15 PM, Bad Kleinen (D), Delete 03.09.12, 8:56 PM, Duration: 4\u201940\u201d\u201c (die politische Konnotation des Ortes ist beabsichtigt).<\/p>\n

\nTrack 31 – Location- Grave of Franz Kafka; Record- 28.03.11, 3.54 PM, New Jewish Cemetery, Prague (CZ) Delete- 01.04.11, 12.21 PM, Duration- 2’15“<\/p>\n
\nlink<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThe other release by Gruenrekorder is an odd ball. It’s a small booklet, roughly CD sized and it contains a list of recordings made by Christoph Korn and Gruenrekorder boss Lasse-Marc Riek and a list when these recordings were erased. Yes, exactly, I was thinking the same thing. „The sound of selected locations or specific sound phenomena have been recorded using a digital audio recording device. Later on these recordings were deleted. This process of finding a location, recording and deleting is then captured textually. The result is an audio-event noted and transformed into script. The choice of the locations is purely subjective and does not follow any systematic interest.“ Apparently this is number two in a series, collection 3 „is planned to be released in autumn 2015“. Yes, I failed to see the relevance here too.
