*2022 Stock. Includes a 56-page illustrated booklet in German and English.* Licht-Bilder, Licht Pictures, 3rd scene of Sonntag aus Licht (Sunday from Light), for tenor vocalist and basset-horn, with ring-modulated flute and trumpet (2002/03). Licht-Bilder is performed by a tenor soloist (Hubert Mayer), ring-modulated trumpet (Marco Blaauw), bassett-horn (Suzanne Stephens) and ring-modulated flute/alto-flute (Kathinka Pasveer), as they polyphonically explore variations on a backwards form of the Licht super-formula theme. The ring modulation effect gives the trumpet and flute a harmonizer-like texture, while their melodic lines are designed as a kind of modulating, delayed fun-house mirror to the tenor and horn lines. The 2nd disc contains the same performance but without the ring-modulation effect (for comparison purposes, not the opera staging). Antonio Pérez Abéllan is also credited with synthesizer (ring-modulation guide) here.
