Using up to eight pitch-able tape players, the artist cut these loops and reassembled them, crafting captivating sound dialogues whose unforeseen and precise beauty emerges from a sense of curiosity and awe in the layered relationship between fragments. ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’† ๐’ˆ๐’†๐’‚๐’“ ๐’•๐’“๐’‚๐’Š๐’ ๐’๐’‡ ๐’‚ ๐’„๐’๐’๐’„๐’Œ ๐’ˆ๐’†๐’•๐’” ๐’“๐’†๐’‚๐’“๐’“๐’‚๐’๐’ˆ๐’†๐’…, ๐’“๐’†๐’”๐’‰๐’‚๐’‘๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’•๐’Š๐’Ž๐’† ๐’Š๐’๐’•๐’ ๐’‚ ๐’ƒ๐’“๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’๐’†๐’˜ ๐’“๐’†๐’„๐’๐’ˆ๐’๐’Š๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’.

For the 5th anniversary of this work, Zeisig revisited the original archive of loops and created an absorbingly introspective second volume with loops that had not been previously used, following the same approach. ๐‘จ ๐’“๐’๐’„๐’Œ ๐’‡๐’‚๐’๐’๐’” ๐’Š๐’๐’•๐’ ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’๐’‚๐’Œ๐’†, ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’˜๐’‚๐’•๐’†๐’“ ๐’“๐’–๐’”๐’‰๐’†๐’” ๐’ƒ๐’‚๐’„๐’Œ ๐’•๐’ ๐’‡๐’Š๐’๐’ ๐’Š๐’ ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’†๐’Ž๐’‘๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’†๐’”๐’” ๐’๐’†๐’‡๐’• ๐’ƒ๐’†๐’‰๐’Š๐’๐’….

Freeing itself from formal concerns as a guiding principle, the second volume unravels from a deeply emotional impulse towards artistic and personal honesty. ๐‘จ ๐’”๐’†๐’„๐’“๐’†๐’• ๐’•๐’‰๐’‚๐’•ย ๐’†๐’—๐’‚๐’‘๐’๐’“๐’‚๐’•๐’†๐’” ๐’‚๐’” ๐’”๐’๐’๐’ ๐’‚๐’” ๐’Š๐’• ๐’Š๐’” ๐’–๐’๐’…๐’†๐’“๐’”๐’•๐’๐’๐’…. ๐‘ฐ๐’•๐’” ๐’†๐’„๐’‰๐’ ๐’Œ๐’†๐’†๐’‘๐’” ๐’๐’ ๐’•๐’“๐’Š๐’„๐’Œ๐’๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’…๐’๐’˜๐’ ๐’๐’–๐’“ ๐’”๐’Œ๐’Š๐’. ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’† ๐’Ž๐’š๐’”๐’•๐’†๐’“๐’š ๐’•๐’“๐’‚๐’๐’”๐’‡๐’๐’“๐’Ž๐’”, ๐’Š๐’• ๐’”๐’†๐’†๐’‘๐’” ๐’Š๐’๐’•๐’ ๐’๐’–๐’“ ๐’๐’“๐’ˆ๐’‚๐’๐’”. ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’† ๐’Ž๐’š๐’”๐’•๐’†๐’“๐’š ๐’Š๐’” ๐’Ž๐’†๐’•๐’‚๐’ƒ๐’๐’๐’Š๐’›๐’†๐’… ๐’Š๐’๐’•๐’ ๐’˜๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐’˜๐’† ๐’…๐’๐’โ€™๐’• ๐’†๐’™๐’‘๐’†๐’„๐’•.

While the first volume opened up spaces of unprecedented wonder, the second not only expands these spaces and stretches them out into landscapes: more importantly, it also dares to inhabit them. ๐‘ฐ ๐’˜๐’Š๐’๐’ ๐’ƒ๐’–๐’Š๐’๐’… ๐’‚ ๐’‰๐’๐’–๐’”๐’† ๐’˜๐’Š๐’•๐’‰ ๐’Ž๐’š ๐’—๐’๐’Š๐’„๐’† ๐’”๐’ ๐’š๐’๐’– ๐’„๐’‚๐’ ๐’‰๐’‚๐’–๐’๐’• ๐’Š๐’• ๐’Š๐’ ๐’š๐’๐’–๐’“ ๐’…๐’“๐’†๐’‚๐’Ž๐’”.
