Cassette + Digital Album
"Hinterhof Suite No.1" is a 20-minute synth-heavy sonic interpretation of a mysterious, shape-shifting nocturnal oasis, deep behind the concrete facade of eastern Berlin. Each cassette cover is made out of a unique, hand-made, cyanotype test print (2013) from the cyanotype print photo series Hinterhof in East Berlin Blue*. These blue contact test prints are of the Hinterhof (courtyard) trees and were exposed by sun through the same window that the photos were taken from. A download code is included with the cassette purchase.

Side A: Movements I-III (2013) - 10mins
Side B: Movement IV (2015) - 10mins

*The final prints for exhibiting, such as the one pictured in the frame above, are not included with the cassette purchase - but they are available for separate purchase. For more information, visit lena-kilkka.com/hinterhof

about

Movements I-III (2013)
Movement IV (2015)

Tree at my window, window tree,
My sash is lowered when night comes on;
But let there never be curtain drawn
Between you and me.
Vague dream-head lifted out the ground,
And thing next most diffuse to cloud,
Not all your light tongues talking aloud
Could be profound.
But, tree, I have seen you taken and tossed,
And if you have seen me when I slept,
You have seen me when I was taken and swept
And all but lost.
That day she put our heads together,
Fate had her imagination about her,
Your head so much concerned with outer,
Mine with inner, weather.

–Robert Frost
