Kramm
Die Schopfung Und Andere Kurzgeschichten
FYA - this is an audiobook! In this collection, Bruno Kramm, known as a member of the band Das Ich, unveils a fascinating facet of his artistic work. Embedded in dystopian soundscapes that fluctuate between modular sound synthesis and orchestral cacophony, these publications comprise short stories from various creative periods of the artist. "Eight Oscillations from the Latent Space" are short stories that were written when Kramm was contributing to the Zillo music magazine. They reflect his unique perspective on dystopian, Lovecraftian episodes and are now available on his private Wordpress site. "Seven Nightmares From A Random Forest" emerged during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. These nightmarish scenarios, written during a feverish COVID-19 infection, have now been condensed with sound experiments of modern character, marking Kramm's current artistic phase. "Die Schopfung" ("The Creation"), the only German-language short story in the collection, offers a unique perspective: it narrates the creation story from the point of view of a machine recognizing its creator in humans. This story intertwines with motifs from "Der Achte Tag" ("The Eighth Day") from the Das Ich album "Antichrist". All stories share a dystopian character, exploring themes from solipsism and quantum-philosophical considerations of the creation of reality through a collective consciousness to the realization of being part of a simulation of a universe. According to Kramm, the stories are inspired by authors like Stanislaw Lem, Sabine Hossenfeld, and Lovecraft. These stories are particularly suited for sleepless nights, when the boundaries between reality and fiction seem to blur, and the world around us becomes mysteriously alive
