'Vox Catuli'
by Max Kuiper & Thorsten Soltau

Released by Sentimental Productions, Ukraine, during september 2018.

Beside a regular tape, there is also a limited number of a handmade special edition: the cassette with j-card is housed in a wooden 2-panels box and includes a patch and a certificate. See the photos made by Thorsten Soltau.

This is the second part of the Reynke De Vos/Renart (or Reineke) series.
A collaboratve project by Thorsten Soltau (Germany) and Max Kuiper (The Netherlands).
The approach is to offer sonic worlds that reflects locations, atmospheres and mental states related to the fable and the medieval world in general - as well as depicting the adventurous nature of Reynke.

The two works of 'Vox Catuli' are constructed by Max Kuiper from two sound works titled 'A Devious Fox Den' and 'Liturgy For Ysegrim', based on voice and electronics, that where composed by Thorsten Soltau for this project.
Max Kuiper did not listen to the completed versions - a series of soundcollages was built in reaction to listening to the isolated stems.
