“Fließgewässer” (alias of Heinzel’s personal sonic expression) is intentionally mysterious, playful electroacoustic music, originated from random conversations about a generally uncertain future that obliges to improvise always.

Open air therapy, summer 2021.
For example:
Firat | Dîjla Tape was released on Otomatik Muziek on 21/04/2020:
“I think I’ve recorded the improvised bases with the Prologue almost a year ago, not even using an interface or something, since I just received the synthesizer and didn’t really have equipment except a zoom, recording simply the synthesizer plugged into our hi-fi system haha”
After that “An impromptu session with Marta Morant on clarinet and Nicolas Dobson on drums that started after watching a documentary on the ruthless building of dams in south-east Anatolia by Turkey’s demagogic president Reccep Tayyip Erdogan, with additional synth work overdubbed afterwards, turned into a stream of free-flowing new age sounds with references to anatolian folk music popping up here and there, tender percussion improvs and refined clarinet expressions.
The sole track on the B-side of the tape – „Below the stork’s nest“ – is a sombre elegy, alternating between an endless dulcimer rite, surfacing field recordings, a trumpet resembling the cornet work of Cosey Fanni Tutti and: a violin. The original version of „Firat | Dîjla“ featured a lot of quotes from the BBC-produced documentary „So Water is Turkey’s Oil“. Shying away from the fear of copyright infringements, we asked Heinzel to remove them; about half a day later, in true Fließgewässer fashion, he sent a whole new set of files with him playing a deranged violin instead of the original quotes. That was the final point, the being-struck-by-lightning-moment when we knew this one was perfectly finished. Glimpses of Hassell’s fourth-world music spelled out over european post-industrial music like Coil, and, within the flushes of deeply honest consternation which interweave the whole recording, a very political set of songs.” – Franz Joseph Kaputt
Fließgewässer / Ivette Díaz-Espín – Enllaç Tape and Fanzine
“Die muffigen Tage sind vorbei” was the first time we tried to jam with poetry, our voices with background ambience (an open window), a casio, a trumpet and a looper after having participated improvising in an open mic session.
This lead to creating the album “Enllaç”, an improvised experimental ambient record, which has been duplicated on 100 tapes by EDisco in Portugal and was released by Formes Diverses de Vida and Krimskramz.
“Besides our voices we mainly used a Casio SA-1, looper, trumpet, violin, contact microphone, cirrus spatial-temporal modifier and some field recordings.”
The cassette is acompanied by a fanzine of 7 small chapters, made up from the poems and illustrations, printed by Yosil here in Hospitalet.
Older Releases:
“Kurobe” tape are the first attempts of creating these atmospheres, where the river becomes a metaphor of an imaginary journey in time and space. Involved in “Kurobe”: Silvia – packaging. Heinzel – recordings. Available as black tape with unique embroidery on black cotton, 200 gr metallic paper, inlay print on 170 gr grey paper here. Kurobe has been released in August 2018. |
This second release “Sonstige I” consists of miscellaneous sounds, field recordings from Siurana (a small village in Catalonia), Πλατύκαμπος (a small village in Greece) and a jam from Αθήνα (Greece), blazoned with midi-sounds. Involved in “Sonstige I”: Menelaos – guitar on “Πλατύκαμπος και Αθήνα νύχτα”. Matthias – drums on “Πλατύκαμπος και Αθήνα νύχτα”. Heinzel – midi/field recordings. Available on black tape here. Sonstige I has been released in October 2018. |
The focus of this release are recycled old recordings, which have been wrapped up in spherical midi-sounds and underlined with rainy field recordings. Involved in “Recycling I”: Matthias – pedals on “Habitación mediana”. Silvia – midi piano on “Emilia Est”. Adrián – higher organ melodies on “Floridablanca”. Andreu – accompanying commentary on “Floridablanca”. Matthias – guitar on “Habitación pequeña”. Heinzel – remaining instruments, midi- and field recordings.

“?Es ist höchste Zeit¿” are all analog recordings of guitar, organ, harmonica and voices using just a Zoom H4N recorder. The guitar riffs and harmonica sounds have been recorded in Berlin in September 2018 without having thought of a purpose for them at that point. In essence this recording is a collage of these recordings with overdubbings of organ improvisations and voices. Involved in “?Es ist höchste Zeit¿”: Orestis – text and voice on “Δίψα για αίμα = Greed”. Silvia – voice on “Realisation”. Heinzel – guitar, organ, harmonica, remaining voices and field recordings.

| These almost 30 minutes of music resulted from a not even 3 minute long beat Alicia (Glitchgirl) sent me. This beat is implemented in Part 2. Alltogether Hinterwäldler flush is an ambient/drone improvisation based on the atmosphere of the original beat created by Glitchgirl using mainly a Prologue synthesizer, somewhere hidden a Thomas Californian organ and additional recordings made with a Zoom H4N. Part 2 was released on Glitchgirl‘s compilation DESPACITO V3. Compilation of international underground artists produced by Glitchgirl and Glitchgirl covers produced by other artists! “The idea of this completely DIY compilation is to visibilize the artists that Glitchgirl likes, to motivate who just started to play or are not known, to challenge the creativity of artists that had stopped playing or played less music lately, to learn from the rest and to have a good time. Well. It’s mainly about having fun, isn’t it? (ALSO A R T & F R I E N D S H I P)” Here’s the full compilation: glitchgirl.bandcamp.com/album/despacito-v3 |
“Klinker auf XLR” by Zement. Among many other interesting projects, Fließgewässer participated in this release by reinterpreting the song “C2S” from their album “Klinker”. Here’s the full record: https://verydeeprec.bandcamp.com/album/klinker-auf-xlr Available on tape here. Has been released in November 2019. |
