A HOUSE OF CALL - MY IMAGINARY NOTEBOOK - HEINE...

In recent years  composer and theatermaker Heiner Goebbels has regularly collected recordings
of voices during his travels  chance encounters  projects  and research. Unique  peculiar
voices that have touched  disturbed  excited  alienated him. These are voices from very
different contexts  soundscapes  musical traditions  and languages  folk material  rituals 
literature  recorded in the course of the last hundred years or so. This phonographic
collection in an imaginary notebook has now become two things: A House of Call as a
full-evening concert for the Ensemble Modern Orchestra  in which these voices will often be
heard on a concert stage for the first time and set the tone: cries  calls  invocations 
incantations  prayers  speech acts  poems  songs. The orchestra presents  supports  accompanies
them  responds to or contradicts them - like a secular responsory. A House of Call. Material
Counter as a book that uses numerous documents  texts  images  and sources to try to trace what
distinguishes these voices. About half of these voices were recorded on wax cylinders with
historical phonographs  and their origins are often ambivalent. Many reasons may have led to
the recordings: ethnomusicological or music and linguistic research  sociological or
anthropological interests. Heiner Goebbels' music is a direct answer to the complexity and
grain of the voices  their vibrancy and the history of these recordings. The book discusses the
heterogeneous contexts of how they were created and explores the question  for example  of
whether these voices were recorded at concerts or under questionable  for example colonial 
circumstances and what makes them unique.
