Sabine Breitsameter interviews contemporary German Composer, Frank Niehusmann, in the July AudioHyperspace. Niehusmann is one of the composers who began to use podcasting early — in May 2005. It was then he began composing ’small forms” — 3 minute compositions almost every day — and rather than storing them on his hard drive, he uploaded them to the Internet.

You can listen to Frank Niehusmann’s Day Tracks here. “Day Tracks” are a series of compositions in the context of musique concrète, industrial and noise music, Elektronische Musik, sonic art, Klangkunst, Hörspiel and ars acustica: compositions with originally recorded machine sounds, sounds of nature, sounds of social life and sounds from musical instruments including synthesizers and drum-computers and all kinds of edited samples from the whole range of Frank Niehusmann’s archive of sounds.
