Ten pieces for sound sculptures, objects made by artists that are also instruments: the steel and glass rods of François and Bernard Baschet, the stones of Elmar Daucher, the works of Stephan von Huene, Gerlinde Beck and others. The composers include Siegfried Fink, Anestis Logothetis, Wilfried Jentzsch (Lithophonie, on serpentine and Swedish granite), Hans-Karsten Raecke and Klaus Hinrich Stahmer, who conceived and coordinated the whole project.
The record ends with Peter Vogel's Kleines fünfstimmiges Minimal Music Object, one of his interactive electronic sculptures. Issued by Wergo in 1985 as a double LP in its Spectrum series, a rare and fascinating survey of the meeting between visual art and sound.
