Denoising Field Recordings
Richard Eigner's new work »Denoising Field Recordings« documents an early attempt at using denoising-techniques in a creative and compositional manner. Instead of utilising noise-reduction-algorithms for their intended purpose (the restoration of damaged audio signals), these processes are applied to various field recordings. »Denoising Field Recordings« is released as a limited edition of see-through 12" vinyl with an intruiging white-on-white cover designed by Hans Renzler . The digital version is available exlusively at Zero".
Misel Quitno Remixes
Misel Quitno's record »Sleep Over Remixes Vol.1« is out now! Richard took the freedom to remix »A Fancy Friendship« on his own, but invited a bunch of musicians to rip the tune out of its original studio-murk and transplanted the tubas into his own airy, somewhat jazzy version of an imaginary film score. Richard claims that the drums on this remix aren't actually drums, but swine-flus, made of tropical wood.

The Light Remixes
Wald Entertainment is celebrating its first ever release with an enchanting collaborative effort. Concocted by three graduates of the 2006 Red Bull Music Academy shortly after their departure from its Olympian domain, »The Light« was recorded in a series of separate sessions with Andreya Triana and Richard Eigner (of Ritornell). Some Freak merged it into an organic slow burner that sounds like a transmission from galaxies away. Patrick Pulsinger, Dorian Concept and Orakel contributed fantastic remixes! Out now on Boomkat, Juno, Amazon, HHV, Zero Inch, I-Tunes, Juno Download and many more shops!
