LA BARCA complete edition

Thomas Köner · 2014

Constructed from recordings made during a residency in Venice, La Barca traces the slow drift of water, stone, and decay that defines that city's particular relationship with time. Köner works here with extended granular textures and submerged low frequencies, giving the impression of sound traveling through water rather than air. The complete edition gathers additional material that deepens the original's sense of submersion and gradual dissolution. It sits apart from his Arctic work — warmer, more humid, rot rather than frost.
