KunstMusik started as a periodical. Each magazine will have its own host in future who will use their own personal approach to lead you towards music as an art form. Moreover, in our efforts to open up to a more international readership we have decided to publish exclusively in English this time. The current issue’s host is Spanish composer Miguel Angel Tolosa. Working in the area of field recordings and drones, he runs the con-v label in Madrid and focuses on contemporary developments in electroacoustic music.

Contents: All texts in English

Five experiences from watching the endles in-space-performances by Manfred Werder. Sound and absence, space and awaiting. The feeling of abundance.

WADE MATTHEWS: THREE SUPPOSITIONS

MATTIN: NOISE VS CONCEPTUAL ART
Final and extended version of this fine, political text. The anarchy of noise. Noise as meta-chaos. Noise in the state of crisis. In extremes we meet!
