V/A “Groeten uit Amsterdam” (LP. [self released]. 1980) [NL]
The Young Lieutenant - Dagmar Krause, Harold Schellinx, Ronald Heiloo (1983)
Independent and searching the young lieutenant trousers tight as a drum entered the village proudly announcing his passion for whiskey and young lady pianists. He made very good gestures he pulled up his trouser legs as he sat down.
His dark eyes told stories of battle and love shotguns and blood he freed his shirt cuffs and leaned forward to tell about all the aspects of war all the bastards he killed.
The village had nothing to offer but tea and a waitress prum, wearing glasses. Independent and searching trousers tight as a drum the young lieutenant ordered a beer.
"Commuters, a one-time collaboration between Slapp Happy vocalist Dagmar Krause and Amsterdam avant-garde composers Harold Schelinx and Ronald Heiloo, was first released as a limited pressing on Amphibious Records in 1983. Soon deleted, it quickly became the Holy Grail fans of Krause were all after. Although it runs for only 16 minutes, Commuters contains ten songs and really should be perceived as a full album. Schellinx's short stories are set to dense piano pieces taking elements from Erik Satie, Charles Ives, and Kurt Weill. Krause's voice delivers the text in angular melodies in a way similar to her work with News From Babel (on Work Resumed on the Tower). These 60- to 120-second half-cabaret/half-atonal pieces are as complete as can be and the listener comes out of them as if the experience had taken an hour.” - François Couture

Episode 10: Harold Schellinx
Harold Schellinx Seventy Seconds 30:34
Statement:
Seventy Seconds is Harold Schellinx’s sound diary for the year 2011, a prime year. Schellinx recorded 10 seconds of sound each day of the year at various times of day. The ensuing avalanche of sounds, extracted from Schellinx’s private soundscape, mirrors the relentless passing of time. The sounds captured are often highly personal, but due to their briefness, remain abstract.
