In The Rhythm of Design, Zurich-based fine arts duo Michael Meier \u0026amp; Christoph Franz explore urban displacement and its impact on the local music scene. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFocusing on six venues that have disappeared or are under threat, the artists collected materials on site—wood, metal, and other architectural elements—and, with the support of professional instrument builders, transformed them into six musical instruments. Six artists and groups connected to these spaces—namely Kalabrese, Tobibi Ferrari-Bienz, Rafal Skoczek, Lucien Badoux \u0026amp; Jeremy Sauter, Nicola Kazimir, and Dualism—each composed a piece for them, forming the basis for site-specific performances in September 2025. Rather than performing as an ensemble, the works—ranging from experimental funk and punk to kraut, noise, and drone—unfolded simultaneously in spatial fragments at the original locations. Only through movement and listening across the city did the composition emerge as a whole. The work was realized in collaboration with the City of Zurich, Art in Public Space (KiöR).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEight months after the original performances took place, the pieces are released via Switzerland-based publishing platform Präsens Editionen. The record—available as a limited-edition coloured vinyl with a special artwork, as a digital album, and for streaming—carries the fragmented sounds of Zurich into a new form of collective memory, extending the work beyond its original locations as a lasting document of urban transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Edition of 300 clear color vinyl\u003cbr\u003e* Special artwork feat. silk-screen printed plastic sleeve and an extensive booklet, designed by award-winning graphic design studio A Language, Melina Wilson and Martin Stoecklin\u003cbr\u003e* Published by Präsens Editionen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003eA1 Kalabrese – Club Zukunft\u003cbr\u003eA2 Tobibi Ferrari-Bienz – Giesshübel\u003cbr\u003eA3 Rafal Skoczek – Kochareal\u003cbr\u003eB1 Lucien Badoux \/ Jeremy Sauter – Manegg\u003cbr\u003eB2 Nicola Kazimir – Mikro\u003cbr\u003eB3 Dualism – Stierli-Areal\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Präsens Editionen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46765981794460,"sku":"PE-052","price":34.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/e_ee9a29d8-1b90-4e4f-9e7c-2566b53fcef2.jpg?v=1777402069","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/michael-meier-christoph-franz-the-rhythm-of-design-clear-coloured-vinyl","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
