Thomas Meinecke & Jan Jelinek: Foucault's Confession of the Flesh
Short excerpt of a voice modulation (5 episodes/edits in total): The German writer and musician Thomas Meinecke reads a surrogate from Michel Foucault's Confessions of the Flesh (2021). His voice is the exclusive sound source and processed with granular synthesis (by chance). Commission on the occasion of Geständnisse des Fleisches by KlangForum Heidelberg, 2025.

Machines behind doors (II)
This is a historial recording from 2016, which captures a massive - in the sense of loudness and penetrance - air conditioning unit in front of the Pacific Alliance Medical Center in Los Angeles. The drone was omnipresent - even at the neighbouring street and road junction. The clinic was modernised and the air conditioning system replaced. The photo shows the current setup. The recording is slightly processed (EQ + Harmonizer).
