Installations by Marcus Maeder and Daniel Bisig
Since the first cassette, published in 1996 as part of a sound installation by the fictitious publisher "domicile edition“, the earth has rotated on its axis some 7,300 times and domizil has become a music publisher with greying temples, being able to look back on a catalogue of some 33 publications. As was the case with many other smaller labels, domizil was founded as an act of self-help in the context of the techno and experimental music scene that rapidly developed in the 1990s. No music publishers in Switzerland would have published electronic, digital music - let alone from artists who were then unheard of. And thus we began with musical, curatorial and editorial experiments in the age of digital culture – the "digital musics" – a multimedia and low-threshold further development of academic electronic music and computer music in a new, sub- and pop-cultural context. Techno, digital musics, the rapidly developing computer-based arts as well as the alternative media labs, clubs and collectively run exhibition rooms emerging in their milieu were attractive for us, because they perfectly corresponded to our concept of new contexts and connections that we wanted to be involved in formulating and defining.
It suddenly became possible to produce computer music (i.e. digital music) at home – in our own "domicile", due to the appearance of the first affordable laptops on the market at the beginning/middle of the 1990s. No more need for expensive studios – now it was our own four walls, the alternative art spaces and the self-organised clubs where we improvised (and subsequently composed) with home-made, virtual instruments on our computers, and developed our musical interests and languages. Although the techno-culture of the 1990s affirmed both future events and new technologies while testing out the young communication medium of the internet, at the same time it also possessed a whim for science-fiction worlds and social utopias from the 1970s – the time of our childhood. For us, domizil as a "brand" embodies all this – and if it is a matter of discussing common interests of all the artists who have spent time living in our small, imaginary house, then they are all arguably explorers of unheard sound universes, vagabonds in digital soundscapes, hermits in solipsistic acoustic spaces, members of a global sound community.
To this day, domizil perceives itself as a presentation and production interrelation, active at the interface of electronic music, visual arts and – increasingly – science. The works of the artists we present with domizil often consist of music compositions, to which perspectives and concepts of the visual arts or natural science are inherent, or where – vice versa – musical ideas and approaches are tried out in sound installations or in research into scientific objects. In this manner, terms such as generative art, data sonification, environmental aesthetics and artistic research increasingly determine the artistic context of domizil.
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary, a concert evening will be held in Berlin and Zurich, and an anniversary edition, consisting of 4 new CDs of the most active artists on our label, will appear. The concert evenings are so designed that we will celebrate our anniversary with friends – namely, a selection of musicians and artists who have made an important contribution to our artistic thinking, or with whom we would like to work more intensively in the future.
And, last but not least - we would like to thank our supporters at the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia and the City of Zurich for their past and very recent sponsorship.
