Record label MAMKA (from the slovene for granny) has dedicated itself to the publication of high quality self-produced sound recordings in small hand-made series.
Each individual record is its own uniquely woven and hand-printed specimen. Moments from the #neon-western #audio-diverse #soundcomic WENDY PFERD TOD MEXIKO (WENDY HORSE DEATH MEXICO), a production by the author Natascha Gangl and the electro-acoustic duo Rdeča Raketa (Osojnik & Schellander), are newly collaged and remixed on this single, resulting in two filmic miniatures that create new interpretations and listening experiences, and stand alone as works of art in their own right. The sound comic WENDY PFERD TOD MEXIKO was first presented at Ö1 - Kunst Radio and awarded the first prize of the Berlin Radio Play Festival in 2018. wendy.klingt.org
The electroacoustic duo, RDEČA RAKETA, aka composers Maja Osojnik and Matija Schellander, together with the author Natascha Gangl, develop and perform acoustic works of art for which they invented the genre "sound comic" (ger. Klangcomic). As with comics, where words and images merge into one another, here it is the spoken word and sound which blend together. Anti-heroes and heroines are the protagonists here; their surreal to psychedelic journeys leading them through a dense fabric spun from compact sonic images. The artists eclectically combine literary and musical styles and make them their own in the finely woven compositions. The “sound comic” presents itself as a ready-to-broadcast radio play, as a sound carrier of unique design, and as an ever-evolving live performance.

about
B-Side: SUPER RANDOM ME (4:28)
A miniature film that asks: What do you want to see? What do you want to see when your acoustic experience takes you on a journey into the surreal? When the music invites you into the rainy season, for a walk through the mud and suddenly in this world of sound the door opens and you are standing in a crowded subway. You start to find your way around, you start to explore and bam! You are standing in the rain again, in the mud; it glimmers, it shimmers and wham! A door opens and you are playing in the casino with the original Mexican question, "Where is the gold?" The composers combine their inspirations from acoustics and musique concrète to create a dream in four minutes and twenty-eight seconds in which natural and artificial spaces merge into one another. What is the reference? What will you stick to?
