„Ververbüntede“ is the title of Michael Barthel’s new release on Coherent States. Its magic derives from its evolution through space and time. Knowing Michael’s work, by listening the first few seconds of the first of a total of eighteen tracks, one realizes that this is probably going to be a work based on voice. Moving on, however, this stops being a given, sounds become irritating, dictaphones and collages riot with the voice drowning in them, only to reemerge at a later moment, while the masterly placement of noises and the increase of hissing gradually make you unable to recognize the source of each sound, which results in momentarily losing contact -only to be made again later on- with the work itself, in a completely weird aural experience. Wholly concentrated with the coating of the Abstract. This is genuine musique concrète.
„Ververbüntede“ is a smorgasbord of poems and sound poetry pieces questioning the functionality of alliances, here primarily in extreme situations. What desires and future perspectives are formed by the circumstances of an alliance? Is the way the title is written confusing or analogous? What does the beggar’s “Have a nice day, now” really mean?
