Background
To celebrate monochrom's 15th anniversary,[1] the members decided to release a CD containing a variety of songs the group had previously created for their art projects, live shows and theater performances. Part of the concept was to invite musicians and music formations to re-record or re-mix some of monochrom's tracks. Most of the vocal performances are by members of monochrom, e.g. Johannes Grenzfurthner and Evelyn Fürlinger.
The songs range from genres like country and pop to club music and experimental music. The lyrics, partially in German and English, are political and deal with various controversial issues, like mass surveillance, migration, critique of capitalism and heteronormativity.
The album was financially supported by Österreichischer Musikfonds and SKE (austro mechana).[2]
- Song examples
- The tracks Let's Network It Out (Flat Nashville Hierarchy Version) and Tonki Gebauer: Song (Excerpt) were originally recorded as part of the Georg Paul Thomann project.
- Waun i schiaß and Could It Be were originally created for monochrom's stage musical Udo 77, but re-recorded in a studio.
- The song Der Oxo Raster. An Electronical Palimpsest is a cover version of the song "Oxo la terre" by Raymond Lefèvre.
