"two years in the making, aufabwegen presents the first ever studio album of bremen-based musikaktionsensemble klank. co-produced by radio bremen's contemporary music department and featuring singer friederike menz on various tracks, klank left its accustomed territory of energetic yet intimate performative stage action to enter the fine historic recording arena of sendesaal bremen. for this release the four members of klank focused on acoustic spaces and auditive situations recording hours and hours of material. while the opener rae n presents an almost architectural approach to the dense microtonal logics of noise and drone the three piece set of contaminechno is a neat and surprising exploration of radioplayeske atmospheres and contemporary electronic music alike. the mono-ridden der produktive konsument links the bobostertaglike assembling of ensembles at the computer with thoughts about various fields of consumerist homerecording while die mechanische cd for a moment neglects the data sound carriers and storage systems usually are used for, perceiving cds, mds and the like as sonic objects with their own musical quality. closed by a brief passage through possible constellations within an improvising quartet, äcex, the release is, after all, linked to klank's musical - live - practice."

There's yet another, third name, I won't reveal. The final words on the LP are: 'My friends'. For piety reasons I won't explain the original context of the voice, nor reveal the identity of the woman, who speaks these words. Besides, it's a damn long time ago anyway, and mystifications were no longer a part of my repertoire after 'Stupor Mundi'.
Raum 318 was originally released on cassette only in 1991 on the E'ostrate label in France, in an edition of only 138 hand-numbered copies. It is a part of Tietchens' more Industrial sounding body of work and was remastered for this edition. In addition, a long previously unreelased bonus track has been added.

"Parergon" (Greek 'collection of small texts') is the sequel of the idea to continue to recycle recyclings of recyclings. That does not mean remixes or deconstructions but much more genuine compositions derived from already repeatedly recycled structures. In the future the new compositions, too, will be transformed by recycling into totally new music.
