About ZUG (the red cassette)

by Conrad Schnitzler (21.4.06)

The piece ZUG was developed for a cassette-action-performance in 1972.
The Rote Cassette was produced from an manufacturer for cassettes in
1974(800 items)As much cassettes as wanted should be played simultaneous in a
cassette-action-performance.
Zug consists of 2 tracks.
On one side of the cassette was the track RHYTHMUS.
On the other side was the track SPUR.
The cassettes should and could be played as ever one wanted.
That means, as much sides as possible could be played together at the same
time.
Everything was mixable.
The whole "piece" was called ZUG(Train).
Videos with scenes and moments of train-travels were made for the music.
Later a part of the music ZUG could be heard with a faint fasing track on
the LP CON.
Now there are several different versions:
CDR ZUG-RHYTHMUS
CDR ZUG-Spur
CDR Rhythmus ID 1 and Spur ID 2
CDR Rhythmus and Spur mixed
CDR LP long version
