Price (incl. 19% VAT): €15.00 More Info "In August 2020 as part of Michael Begg’s residency at Edinburgh’s Queen’s Hall, a special collaborative performance had been due to happen between Begg and legendary figure of the European electronic music scene, Hans Joachim Roedelius. Lockdown forced their collaboration to evolve remotely and has resulted in the release, Two Gather In The Waiting Room. The result is a beautiful fusion of their individual signature sounds, and a movingly evocative, and unexpectedly positive portrait of artistic life in lockdown." [Omnempathy] https://omnempathy.bandcamp.com/album/two-gather-in-the-waiting-room "MICHAEL BEGG ist ein schottischer Komponist, Klangkünstler und Musiker. Seit der Jahrtausendwende begann er unter Einsatz neuer erschwinglicher Technologien mit der computergestützten Komposition zu experimentieren. Dabei entstanden Aufnahmen fürs Theater, die Formation HUMAN GREED mit seinem langjährigen Mitarbeiter DERYK THOMAS sowie die langjährige Beteiligung an der Experimental-Formation FOVEA HEX. Thematische Arbeiten, zeitgenössische klassische Musik und Studioexperimente bestimmen die Arbeit von BEGG, der auch unter seinem eigenen Namen zahlreiche Aufnahmen veröffentlichte. HANS-JOACHIM ROEDELIUS ist ein deutscher elektronischer Musiker und Komponist. Bekannt wurde er als Mitbegründer der einflussreichen Krautrock-Gruppen CLUSTER und HARMONIA. ROEDELIUS‘ Solokarriere begann 1978 und brachte bis heute zahlreiche Albumveröffentlichungen hervor, nicht selten in Kooperation mit namhaften Kollegen wie BRIAN ENO, CONNY PLANK oder DIETER MOEBIUS. „Two Gather In The Waiting Room“ ist die erste Zusammenarbeit der beiden herausragenden Musiker BEGG und ROEDELIUS. Fünf elegische Synthesizer-Symphonien, die das Beste aus beiden Welten der Künstler vereinen. All tracks written by Michael Begg and Hans Joachim Roedelius Arranged and Produced by Michael Begg Additional musicians from the Black Glass Ensemble on Not Far Away. Further: Aisling O’Dea, violin Julia Lungu, violin Neil Cuthbertson, trumpet "Michael Begg is a Scottish composer, sound artist, and musician. In 2000, making use of new affordable computer technologies, he began to experiment in computer mediated composition. Along with long time collaborator Deryk Thomas, he produced a series of recordings intended for use in theatre which became the first Human Greed album, Consolation. Michael began contributing to Clodagh Simonds' Fovea Hex project in 2007 with an appearance on the track "Long Distance" on the EP Allure. He has since appeared on every subsequent Fovea Hex recording, and is a core member of the performing iteration of the ensemble. Begg has released a number of recordings in his own name, working more progressively towards a territory comprising site specific thematic work, contemporary classical music, and studio experimenting. Hans-Joachim Roedelius is a German electronic musician and composer. He is best known as a co-founder of the influential krautrock groups Cluster and Harmonia. Roedelius' solo career began with Durch die Wüste in 1978 and then Jardin Au Fou in 1979. The first of the lengthy Selbstportrait series was released in 1979, being material done beside his work with Cluster and Harmonia, without the input of his collaborators. Mostly recorded on simple two-track equipment, the Selbstportraits make up the backbone of Roedelius' early solo recordings." [press release]
