Azeotrop / Felix Profos Bock

The twenty-minute piece "Bock" by Swiss composer Felix Profos was commissioned by Azeotrop (Blum/Zumthor). The composition consists of six parts and revolves themes like boisterous energy of physical presence, progressive standstill, seeming repetition, indefatigable instisting. "Bock" is an oeuvre that pushes incessantly forward. It's ostensibly simple, piercing rhythms start to rotate, thus celebrating a striking presence. A composed ritual, written in the name of a deeply mythical creature: goat!
On the album "Bock" the six composed parts are contrasted and completed with four conceptual improvisations. This energetic ensemble invites the listener to Aceotrop's unique sound universe - dense, intense, playful and powerful.
The limited vinyl edition is made of good old and heavy 180 gram vinyl. The master was cut by Frank Heierli & Adi Blum at centraldubs-studio, Berne. The artwork was designed by Daniel Rohner, the cover by Miriam Affolter (Atelier Komma, Biel). The cover's silkscreen print was hand made at the Druckerei Reitschule in Berne. If you buy a vinyl, you'll find a CD with all tracks enclosed. Each of the 300 copies is serially numbered.
