»ödipus, herrscher« is the debut release of berlin-based, japanese sound artist mieko suzuki on raster. it is the result of a composition commissioned by schauspielhaus bochum.
mieko suzuki produces sounds by gently stroking, scratching and hitting the various elements of her self-built instruments, made from archaic materials such as wood, stone, metal, fur and clay. amplified by contact microphones, these sounds are electronically manipulated, alienated and distorted. her central concern is direct interaction; the correspondence between acting and music through improvisation.
raster would like to thank the schauspielhaus bochum for their support in realizing this release.
