Hans Krusi

Track one from Hans Krusi; “While preparing a new edition of Anton Bruhin works, Alga Marghen discovered some mysterious tapes by Hans Krusi. Fascinated by the raw and brute contents of those sounds, mixing field recordings of insects, sheep and distant bells with primitive chanting, percussive noises and distorted radio folk songs, Alga Marghen started to conceive one of the most obscure editions in his catalog. The Swiss-born, self-taught painter Hans Krusi (1920-1995) was a wiry man who eked out an existence on the margins of society”. Brief introduction to the London Art Book Fair, with Richard Thomas and finally; track 26 from Modern Shit Will Make You Ill by Xentos Bentos and Lepke Buchwalter.
