Robert Lippok - Open Close Open Raster-Noton, 1 January 2001

"Open Close Open, the title of Robert Lippoks latest release can obviously be seen in the context of daily maxim: instructions as you can find on packagings, household appliance, stereo systems and other operating instructions. Neverthelesss Open Close Open also stands in connection with making things like space and perception accessible to yourself – and therefore with the opening of a fictious memory. On this release analogue field recordings, digital remains and cultural fragments are condensed into an accoustic space."
