]]> The publication shows the work In Leder by the artist Käthe Kruse. In Leder consists of 20 leather-covered instruments. The starting point was the drum kit that Käthe Kruse played in the iconic band Die Tödliche Doris in the 1980s and which she “leathered in” as the first of the instruments in an act of transformation and redefinition. This was followed by the guitar, bass, violin, clarinet, recorder, rattles, accordion, cymbals, kettle, xylophon, and claves, which, once covered in leather, became objects in their own right. The new sounds can be heard, and the instruments can be played in the e-book.

The leathered instruments continue to be played in performative settings. In the performance Lieder in Leder* Kruse sings songs from Chöre & Soli, half-hidden in a column of leather. She is accompanied by her daughter Edda Kruse Rosset on the leather-covered drums. All instruments are used in Konzert in Leder, and Kruse beats the metal sheets printed with the lyrics of the songs, which create a clattering counter-sound to the instruments muffled by the leather. Sophia Bicking, Danielle de Picciotto, Alexander Hacke, Edda Kruse Rosset and Alma Neumann accompanied Kruse at the one-off concert on April 10, 2025, at the Berlinische Galerie. The performances Lieder in Leder and Konzert in Leder are included in the e-book as videos.

*Lieder in Leder are based on the short acappella songs from the box Chöre & Soli by Die Tödliche Doris, published in 1984 by Gelbe Musik, Berlin, and Pure Freude, Düsseldorf.

]]> These pages filled with dots and dashes will be a starting point for you to engage in a nonverbal world of communication called Morse code. Originally Morse code was a vital method of radio communication during the second world war and a standard distress communication until 1999, but many innovative geniuses are bringing back this communication as a creative platform. Because Morse code is a cryptic code that can only be deciphered by a small percentage of people who have been trained or have learned to use it, it feels like it is unprecedented in the world of creative communication.

It would not be surprising if we had missed out hearing secret codes that one of our favorite bands has been subtly chiming right into our ears, the blinking lights you had seen one night on top of the hill facing your window, a series of finger taps on a table top by a seemingly engrossed young man gambling away in a board game in a park.

In fact, today Morse code is a versatile tool both in the world of fiction and in the real world. I hope that this small introduction can demonstrate how creative a new communication structure using Morse code.
