Differenz/Wiederholung 2
Bernhard Lang's Differenz/Wiederholung 2 is a multi-media piece for amplified ensemble, three voices and video installation. While the music is filled with rocking-and-rolling, anti-grooving sound slaps, "scored free jazz", and crippled repetitions…
Terrible Fake
Terrible Fake explores rhythmic relationships between drums and piano in context of somewhat crippled art of trip-hop. It is mostly based on irregular beats in order to create kind of fragmented groove. Different characters are alsoemphasized through…
Berlin Exercises
Christian Wolff on Berlin Exercises: "'Exercise' indicates relatively shorter pieces in which the process of work, of practicing and of trying things out within specified limits, in short a kind of discipline in process, are being attempted. I rega…
