FM Einheit: Sounding Out, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Running through the book like a bassline is a twelve-hour conversation between the musician
FM Einheit (FME) and media archaeologist Siegfried Zielinski. The volume is an exploration of the
world of sound in the form of a playful dialogue. In his responses, FME uses language to create
the characteristic echo that constitutes his universe of sounds, tones, noises, and music. At the
same time his expatiations also resonate in the echo chamber of the statements, poetic texts,
quotations, and essays of fellow artists, musicians, critics, and media and cultural researchers. The
book's numerous images and graphic gestures make it clear that the bands FME has developed
his musical identity with are always involved too with artistic, sculptural, architectural, and
scenographic projects.

FM Einheit is a musician, composer, and sound researcher and the drummer with the band Ein-
stü rzende Neubauten, which he also co-founded. Siegfried Zielinski helped devise the concept of
media archaeology and is passionate about researching the dynamic relationships between art,
science, and technology. Daniel Irrgang is a scholar of media, art, and culture, currently based
at the University of Copenhagen.
