unerwartete schleifen is designed for a variable number of
record players, the sound being provided by defective records,
which produce a continuous repetitiv pattern (loop or ostinato). the
defect in the medium provides the initial basis. the speed of the records
is varied by means of a microcontroller and the arrangement recorded
not as a musical score but as a timeline in code. the decontextualisation
of the sound and the changing attention focus create a sound character,
while the combination of patterns and their manipulation over time
produce a new formal "music from music" structure.
