wann hat man eigentlich das letzte mal die eigene sammlung gesichtet? welche längst vergessenen klänge warten dort auf ihre wiederentdeckung? oder sind die tonspuren längst verfallen?
für das retrosonografia-projekt von radio lemurie taz prag wurden verschiedene klangkünstler und -sammler gebeten, einmal in ihre archiven zu lauschen…

[english]

do you remember the last time you listened into your own sound collection? what about forgotten sounds waiting their for their comeback? or have they vanished meanwhile?
for radio lemurie taz' retrosonografia project artists and sound collectors were invited to dig their archives…

How long ago did you listen to that recording you made in 2000 in mountains. When was the last time you heard that composition you made for theater five years ago?
We usually doot look into personal archives of any kind very often – but when we do we are often surprised with what we find there.

"Retro-Sono-Grafia is an attempt of three sound collectors and creators to sink into their archival CDs, DVDs, hard drives, minidiscs and other media. To find forgotten, interesting and weird stuffand try to blend it creatively with what others have found. The found material varies from compositions and musical tracks to field recordings, found materials or even interviews or sound trash.
The show was edited from a live two-hour improvised sound conversation. There is no spoken word left on the final version except for few words and sentences that function more like an addition to sound atmospheres than commentaries.
The result is a mix of more than six years of sound collecting – a sound-time-scape…" [M.V.]
