Bleep

Cloitre is a recording of an immersive live performance by Norwegian sound artist Jana Winderen and German multimedia artist Thomas Köner in the cloisters at Evreux Cathedral in the French Normandy. Mixing field recordings and electronics, the piece is composed of ambient insect and bird sounds blending into hulking organ drones. With frequencies existing at the outer limits of the humanly perceptible range, it lives from its oscillating harmonies, emerging textures and ever-changing pitch. Recorded by the event’s curator, Franck Dubois, and mastered by Köner himself, the 45-minute piece is released on London’s prolific experimental label and Köner’s affiliates Touch.
