Title Description:
This CD is like a sketchbook from the years 1990/91. It builds the missing link between P16.D4s last release, the acRID acME OF P16.D4 CD(1989) and rlw's first CD, ACHIT(1992), not only because od the time of its recording(1990/91, one piece - #22 - from 1992). It also bridges the gap between P16.D4's more collage-orientated style and rlw's more subtle and radical reductionist ways of composition. Of course, a strict separation of these approaches is mere theory. But the Tonlose Lieder concentrate for a last time on processes of synthesis, whereas later recordings are based on the results of these processes, undergoing new transformations continuously in discontinuous steps. So the most typical track of this CD might be #21, an amalgamation of elements, which may come or come not from pieces by Shostakovitch, Messiaen, Xenakis, Hendrix, Taylor, Blount, Siemers, the Electric Prunes or the Comedian Harmonists. Of course, you won't exactly find them there, not even on an Ives record, or another jewel of the archive.
