The Cologne-based sound art duo Merzouga sets these poems to music as contemporary songs. Together with singer Filippa Gojo, they evoke a musical liminal space. For moors are neither water nor land. They are fluid systems of relationships in which everything is connected to everything else. Noisy improvisation and dynamic interplay meet melancholic melodies, orchestrated with an electro-acoustic composition featuring field recordings from the moors and bioacoustic recordings of water beetles. The three translate the principle of peat formation into music: layered compositions of chord layers and clusters—comprising voice, prepared electric bass, and electronics—combined with field recordings and poetry, merge into a single, expansive sound. http://www.merzougamusic.com
