Kamizdat Rentgen: rouge-ah & Maja Osojnik

2018

About

The fifth installment of Kamizdat Rentgen presents a live version, and release, of the debut album by author, harpist and explorer of sounds that works under the pseudonym 'rouge-ah'. This performance will be complemented  by a solo appearance by singer musican, composer and author Maja Osojnik, who has been very active in Austria for many years.

Music on the debut album by rouge-ah - only a few years old project by a musician and visual artist Urška Preis - contains nine compositions. It spans a wide genre spectrum of electro-acoustic composition using field recordings, noisey drone ambient and a variety of digital and analogue processing of acoustic and electric harp. It's a sonic self-portrait through which an intimate and abstract picture of hurtful emotionality is revealed by the artist through an original musical poetics.
