*50 copies limited edition* It's a known fact, that while in exile in Los Angeles Arnold Schoenberg spent most of his free time playing tennis in his garden with family and friends, finding solace under the Californian sun.
A soundscape – truly cinema for the ears, not just sound objects arranged into a narrative, but a very strong narration in sound, masterfully attained by separating the layers in such a way that different moods are laid on top of each other, with their intrinsic references and resonances. Prepared pianos, synthesizers, electric bass, struck violoncello, voices, objets trouvés, field recordings. The tremendous pressure of existence, a sense of defeat (or perhaps hope in reverse?), life buzzing on, a cry in the desert, a wasteland, a squall, declining on the debris of Arcadias and Utopias (or perhaps at the doors of a dreamland?). A tennis match, perhaps a metaphor of our human existence, moving on by inertia, driven by prepackaged impulses.
