strepitus e.p. (1999) [zahn04] 
experimental noise ep (doering/schaefer) -- session by doering/schaefer recorded jan 23 99. two additional studio tracks included.
strepitus e.p. unikat is the original ep mounted inside a broken aluminum case we used in coordination with drills and hammers to generate various noises during the original session; inside the case is some broken glass which was also used as noise generator; an additional cd containing a never to be released studio track by schaefer is also mounted inside the case (no other copy of that track shall ever exist). we do not consider it art -- it's overexpensive trash: available for usd65/eur70/dem130 from alpenrauschen (standard ep is usd5/eur6/dem10 directly from us).

dotabata-no rekôdo (1998, r. 1999) [zahn03] 
a session album (doering/ schaefer) recorded from august 08 to august 14 1998. it contains five tracks in different styles (from harsh noise to trance and ambient), mostly improvised. the recordings have been remixed at the alpenrauschen studio. doering/schaefer used analog and digital synthesis with keyboard, gestural and foot control, bass guitar, sampler, vocal processor, effect devices, radio, and low level wave manipulation. the samples are in high quality mp3 format, length averages 2 mins:
- q'xvptsvili, dawn (harsher mix, jan 1999)
- guriihisyu, guriihishu
- sex, subliminal
- q'xvptsvili, dusk (harsh mix, jan 1999)
- hie, out (lyrics by schwitters) -- extract 1
q'xvptsvili (1998, r. 1999) [zahn06] 
the original mixes (09/98) of q'xvptsvili, dawn and q'xvptsvili, dusk from dotabata-no rekôdo. for the album release we decided to make much harsher remixes, but the old versions should not be forgotten. a good example how harsh noise can be digitally enhanced (the remix work for the album was completely digital), if one compares the original and the harsher mix. for an undetermined time the q'xvptsvili single is bundled with the dotabata-no rekôdo album at no extra charge!
- dawn (original mix, aug 1998)
- dusk (original mix, aug 1998)
n (1998..) [zahn02]
a concept album (doering/mueller/schaefer). it is a collection (still being collected) of n ultra-short to short tracks on one cd which must be played using the randomizer function of a cd player (playing them from 1 to n is useless). these are only a few examples (in high quality mp3 format):
