III Album

Mount Elephant might be folk music from another world or from a backyard in your neighborhood. It sounds familiar and yet enigmatic. Primitive, pure, organic and meditative.
Recorded back in the mid-nineties, the music of this obscure release haunted me for years and I am happy to have the chance to save this from oblivion.
A story of lost and found audio and video recordings
A friend once made a mixtape for me with tracks from tapes he had in his distribution list. This was in the mid-nineties.More than 10 years later I rediscovered the mixtape and started searching for the two Mount Elephant tracks he included, because they always stuck in my mind over the years. But I ended up with nothing. Even asking tape activists from back then, didn’t yield a result.Finally, Lutz Pruditsch of Trümmer Tapes (who recorded the mixtape once) came up with a name and after he dug through some boxes, he finally sent me a recording of the tapes.I was also able to Diet Schütte the artist, who’s still recording music for movies, for kids and for his own enjoyment.
Mount Elephant III is a compilation of the two tapes and includes a code to all tracks (two hours of music) of Mount Elephant 1 + 2.
