Evapori
Transkript 17/Transkript 18 LP (E74)
“The source material for these recordings, produced between
2007 and 2009, originates from found objects and treated
acoustic instruments such as cello, viola, double bass*, bass
clarinet**, as well as conga, cymbal, wood, paper, marbles,
wallpapering table and chains. Further sounds have been
produced using my voice and limbs.
A basic rule for my work with digital tools is to maintain the
liveliness of the source material within the structure of my
compositions. Yet, the newly created elements of sound differ
considerably from the original recordings.”

Oliver Peters (1970) lives and works in Berlin. He begun
producing electronic music in the 1990s, and has been record-
ing and performing as as Evapori since 2002. His compositions
are mostly based on concrete sound sources: field recordings,
transformation of found footage and the use of self-made
sound objects or classical instruments such as piano or cello.
Together with Nicolas Wiese ([-Hyph-]), Peters established
the record label AIC in 2002. He has contributed music to
the short scientific film E 2250, and a composition to Satoshi
Morita’s Klanghelm (Sonic Helmet) project. His Rehearsals for
Objects CD (1000füssler, 2008) was broadcast by Deutschland-
