about

This journey, this slowly drifting sonic meditation, is an 'inner soundscape', a dialogue between the senses, the conscience and the world, inside / outside, interconnected. Like waking up from a long dream, and being stuck into its echo. The April Sessions immerges the listener into a drone-ish universe, full of random acousmatic events, inner monologues and a vast and unwritten subjective map to be drawn. The April Sessions has been living in a seedy hotel in Brussels
for a few months. She listens to the sparse traffic outside her window, locked in and locked down. 'Everything is constructed', she says to herself, 'even the sound of a solitary aircraft at 25,000 feet traverses the sky no further out than the inside of my skull'. Other weird sonic phenomena criss-cross the inner cosmos of her brain and streak across her private sky like comets. And then there is the unshakeable presence of that inner monologue, known to her variously as the Tacit Dictator, the Subvocaliser and, nightmarishly enough, the voice of the Merlucid Hake. (Anthony Moore, St Leonards, 10th of March 2021).

Anthony Moore, Dirk Specht and Tobias Grewenig have known each
other and worked together since the early 2000s. They have collectively participated in a number of projects including live performances and
recordings. In 2016, as part of The Missing Present Band, they released
the live LP 'The Present Is Missing' on A-Musik. The following year they
released 'Ore Talks', a double LP, realised in collaboration with
Therapeutische Hörgruppe Köln.

Anthony Moore
born in 1948, founded the band Slapp Happy (circa 1972) with
Peter Blegvad and Dagmar Krause, then worked alongside a.o. Fred Frith and Tim Hodgkinson in the unclassifiable band Henry Cow. He released several solo albums, composed soundtracks for experimental movies. His path also crossed Kevin Ayers's, Pink Floyd's, Richard Wright's… He was appointed professor for research into sound and music in the context of new media at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne, Germany. He still continues to write and perform.

Dirk Specht
sound artist, musician and curator. He studied architecture and media
art and is active in the fields of sound works for choreography, radio
drama, sound art, film and video art soundtracks… He published
releases with several bands and projects. He has been an assistant
for research into sound from 2011 to 2016 at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne, and is a founding member of Therapeutische
Hörgruppe Köln.

Tobias Grewenig
studied at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne. He primarily deals
with non-linearity in his audiovisual installative works and performances, including projects with the artist group 'Therapeutische Hörgruppe Köln', the ensemble 'The Knob, The Finger & The It' and the improvisation collective "Frequenzwechsel". The conception and development of electronic instruments and code is a key component of his artistic work. He lives and works in Cologne.
