[edit] Overview
According to the band, Musterhaus is; "a new series of experimental CD releases that will only be available via annual subscription.
This official Einstürzende Neubauten series is not connected to the Neubauten.org Supporter Project, which will continue as normal.
Musterhaus 3 is a collection of bass spring compositions by the individual members of EN. The approaches taken are quite diverse.
- Bassfeder consists if one beat on the bass spring, broken down in into several hundred segments of the same length, each segment then placed 200 frames later than the previous.
- Federvice is research into what one could produce from the sound of a single beat.
- In Geschichte der F. (History of S[pring]) Blixa conducts an interview with Andrew, and then uses the speech pattern as trigger for the bass spring.
- Dingfest is an exploration of what a choir of 50+ bass springs sound like.
- In Schlagkraft, Rudolf recorded lighting sparklers on the bass spring and the subsequent cooling sounds; the voice of a German news reader makes an accidental appearance.
- 12 Rythmen fuer Bassfeder use selected midi-files, replacing the original midi sounds with bass spring samples.
- Spring-Time is a melancholicscore for bass spring samples, string quartet, French horn and flute.
- Nux Vomica started out with the concept of a dub version in mind; every sound except vocals is in fact bass spring.
