For a series of commissioned concerts at Sonntags Abstrakt maru asked kauders to conceive and compose a piece on his relationship with Marquis de Sade's work. Having read a collection of writings by the author shortly before they talked about this project, kauders seemed to have changed his point of view several times during the experience. It must have been a wild ride of disgust, fascination, anger, sadness, compassion... and first and foremost sympathy for Justine.

The Marquis de Sade-messe in a-moll (Marquis de Sade mass in a-minor) reflects all these emotions in a very direct, rough, sometimes even coarse way. Kind of a pay-back with guitar, electronics and voice instead of ropes, whips and paddles? I really don't know. But if so, masochism has never felt that good. And sounded that great.





Der arme KAUDERS wühlte sich mühevoll durch die viel zu billig angebotene Schwarte "Ausgewählte Werke Marquis de Sades". Dass das nicht eben ein Spass ist, versteht sich. Ebenso klar ist, dass kauders wieder nichts verstanden hat und nach wie vor an seiner Tugendhaftigkeit festhält. Dennoch folgte der Auseinandersetzung mit de Sades Schriften eine musikalische Antwort, die von Ambivalenz zeugt. Denn den Reizen musikalischen Schweinigelns zu widerstehen, ist naturgemäss schwierig
und
"Nur wenig ist anregender als die erste gelungene Missetat".

Sentir, c'est etre sur


The man who calls himself Kauders [...] was asked to create a piece 'on his relationship with Marquis de Sade's work'. Kauders uses voices, guitars, sound effects, some rhythm machine and creates music that is best described as slow and improvised. Sadly the recording quality isn't the best around, which doesn't hide the fact that the music isn't the best either. Its hard to see the relation with De Sade, but maybe it's somewhere in the lyrics. If only we could understand those! Maybe the art-brut/outsider style is the intention here, but it doesn't work very well.
