Damentennis
Single DE 2017 on Tochnit Aleph label
Spoken Word (Sound Art, Sound Poetry)
Edition of 20 Copies. Numbered and signed by Gerhard Rühm. Clear Vinyl in printed LP Sleeve including two inserts with liner notes by Gerhard Rühm in German and English. "the audio play "Damentennis" (women's tennis) largely consists of original sound recordings. there is thus neither a detailed manuscript nor a realisation score. before production, its final shape was only given in a rough outline. the basis of the audio play is a recording, shortened to about a quarter hour, of the 1994 wimbledon final between martina navratilova and conchita martinez, which is regarded as a landmark game in the history of tennis. While the vocalizations of the players take on a virtually intimate character in the course of the thrilling events, almost making the comments of the sportscaster and especially the spontaneous reactions of the spectators seem voyeuristic, the accentuating rhythm of the exchange of blows definitely attains musical qualities."
