The approach for the nine pieces presented in the new album "Interploitation" is to intervent radically end electronically in existing recordings in order to form new music: no recording of new treacks, but the further processing of existing ones.
The starting material for "Interploitation" are pieces that Lukas Lauermann composed as soundtrack for the documentary Alpenland (AUT 2022) by Robert Schabus. A central theme of the film is the effects and interactions of humans' intervention into nature. In the musical process of "Interploitation" this aspect finds some correspondence in a figurative sense.
The polyphonic cello pieces of the film music were broken down into individual tracks, phrases and individual tones were cut out and transferred to samplers or tape. As a result, the original structure was completely dissolved and its musical parameters were intervened with the help of effect pedals: pitches, speed and timbre were changed, new artificial sound spaces were generated, elements were given a rhythm or repeatedly processed until artefacts emerged.
These sonic formations are independent and new instrumental pieces whose musical levels interact, just like the syllables of the three words that form the complicated basic structure and at the same time give the title: interference - intervention - exploitation. © Coviello Classics
