"This has to be one of the hardest tasks for a self-confessed Wire bore like myself to do! How to try and sensibly convey the feeling I have for

them without racing into hyperbolical nonsense. Well, I can't...'154' will always be one of the most perfectly made records ever! And my

personal favourite. A huge god-like tome of influence, and totally untouchable. So it was to 'Chairs Missing' we turned and we reactivated a

version of 'Used To' which was due to appear on a (shelved) covers E.P. we were planning in 1993. It'll never match the original in atmosphere,

but we did try and take it another direction. When I work out exactly where it went I'll let you know!"

trans-historical alterities

This idea of trans-historicity emerged in September 2000 when we presented a film on a forgotten merzbau by Kurt Schwitters, and a concert by Kurt Ralske. Soon after, Dirk Seghers, of the Beursschouwburg in Brussels, asked us to compile an hour of music from the catalogue we had published - which is when the idea of a temporal blend developed more clearly. At this time, we were working on the first volume of the anthology - where its very essence lies. These mixed parabolas, organised by Transculture and us, rapidly appeared as the first real event of this type. We then pursued this sort of work I various places, with different people, but always keeping in mind this concept of temporal blend.

In Nobember 2001, we had just published Henri Pousseur's 8 Parabolic Studies (8 þtudes paraboliques) in a box of 4 CDs. These electric pieces had been created in 1972 in the WDR studios in Cologne (SR174). The idea was to ask other musicians, of different generations, to attempt a new mix in public on the basis of these eight studies.

The first mix (and not re-mix) was a re-interpretation by Henri Pousseur himself - this laid the foundation stone of the edifice. Contrary to the mixes carried out thirty years ago, these were made digitally. The second mix was Robert Hampson's - quite nervous of the master's reaction, who was present on the set. Robert, who holds an exhaustive knowledge of electronic music from its origins and of all its aspects - even of the more obscure ones - gave a personal but faithful interpretation of Pousseur's studies. Another degree of alteration was highlighted by Philip Jeck, who created a massive and powerful set, adding sounds from other sources (which is totally allowed according to Pousseur's original concept). And finally, Oval - according to the process that is quintessential to his work, Markus Popp could only produce a piece far removed from its sources; since it is within sound itself that all sonorous source passes through the ovalprocess, thus becoming ovalmusic - that is, music having its very own properties.

We already had an unstable timeline that spanned from the original to a radically different piece - engrossing intermediary stages of destructuring. It is precisely these stages that were reconstituted here. This recording is exactly what people listened to during the event. guy marc hinant.
