Vraen Centrum
Laaps presents Vraen Centrum by Dag Rosenqvist. "Thematically the album is a reflection on growing up. It’s about those inner worlds that you construct as a child and how you mythologize events to make sense of things. It’s also about nostalgia and how, even though nostalgia is an arranged and polished image, it can sometimes be a great comfort. The past and the present exist simultaneously in all of us. What we were is part of who we are today. It defines us. And perhaps the act of growing olde…
Memory Space
The central concept behind Alvin Lucier's Memory Space is the representation of another time and place through the use of a new set of sounds. In his instructions, Lucier asks the performer/s to go to an environment and record by any means (notes on paper, graphics, audio recording or by memory) the sound situations that are present, then, at any later time, in a different space, attempt to recreate that situation. The purpose of the work is to avoid elaboration or embellishment, but given that …
Dw16 / Songbook
DW is an on-going cycle of Bernhard Lang's pieces, where composer explorespossibilities of loops and repetitions, which became his compositional trademark. Songbook I is another piece where Lang highly involves his patterns from Jazz and Pop music, transformed through “damaged beats”. "For many years one of my main influences beside the work of Philip Jeck were the movies of Martin Arnold: they more or less became the trigger for the series of pieces called Difference/Repetition

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, three vocalists present texts (including rap) from Gilles Deleuze, William Burroughs and Christian Loidl, commenting on usual repetitive human habits and its nonsense. If Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica (1969) is a milestone of avant-rock, …
Voices and Piano
Voices and Piano, written for Nicolas Hodges, is an extensive cycle of pieces, each for a single recorded voice, mostly of a well-known celebrity, and piano. The cycle is still in progress and should eventually include about 80 pieces/voices (arround 4 hours of music). The work is always meant to occur as a selection from the whole. At present I like to write works where the whole should not be presented at once. The whole should remain the whole, and what we hear is just a part of it. I like to…

Cheap Opera #1 "Répétitions" DW30 "Loops for Klaus Schulze"
In 2015 Bernhard Lang was approached by Sebastian Berweck, to compose a piece for his Berlin-based Synthesizer-trio Lange // Berweck // Lorenz.Considering his musical background and his roots, Lang saw this offer as double opportunity, one of them being a chance to compose an ultimate tribute to one of his musical heroes, electronic pioneer, Klaus Schulze. On the other side, Cheap Opera #1 „répétitions“ turned out as Lang's most political piece to day: his mercilles comment on fake patriotism...…
Linien II
The title gives an indication as to what this cycle is about: “Lines” as a catch-all phrase for melodic relationships: differently formed – from a unison melody for two instruments to counterpoints of independent voices; composed in different ways – from “calculated” proportioning to spontaneous writing; expressive in different ways – from lament to competition. If nothing else, these pieces are also a journey through all registers of the clarinet family, from Eb- and Bb clarinet through basset …

Saat
* 180g, black vinyl * Recording in a good studio in 1972 with an accomplished engineer/musician such as Dieter Dierks (Ash Ra Tempel, Cosmic Jokers, Tangerine Dream, and yes, the Scorpions), certainly enabled Emtidi to expand their musical style on 'Saat.' The end result was a shimmering, lush cosmic folk trip, with multi-tracked and treated acoustic guitars plus electric piano, fragile angelic femme vocals, vibes, and mellotron, (punctuated by the occasional acid guitar solo). Yes, 'Saat' is an…
