Arno Peeters – The Peeters Principle

When I started working on this 'single artist mix' featuring music and sounds from Arno Peeters, I did not realise that creating a mix-collage based on soundscapes would be more difficult than one based on single tracks. A soundscape is a collage in itself - and using fragments from soundscapes to build another soundscape is like ripping up a collage and presenting the fragmented details out of their original context, rearranging them to create a new caleidoscopic image. The original context gets lost, and the result feels like an aural stream of consciousness that may not exactly be "easy on the ears" .... but may prove to be a fascinating exploration of imaginary territories.. --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Tracklist 00:00 ElementsAutumn Leaves (2007) Compilation 01:07 Headtrick Modulation & Transformation 4 (1999) - Compilation 02:01 Taurus 'Stars of the Sky'-performance (2010) 03:49 Blindside Soundscape Jakarta (2001) - In commission NPS 04:26 Soundscape Battle (with Radboud Mens)Live recording CEM-Festival (2004) 06:30 As Death Passes By Tape (not released, 1988) 06:40 Intro 'Stars of the Sky'-performance (2010) 08:20 If You Have a Girlfriend Tape (not released, 1984) 08:48 Voltage Control - Yatiyana To An Undefined Public (1991) 12:55 Amunite Int.
