More Info

Das experimentelle Berliner Impro-Ensemble ZEITKRATZER spielt zwei Stücke (NAV-FLEX und TRINITY) von JOHN DUNCAN. Entstanden sind in 10köpfiger Besetzung zwei spannend-schwelende Stücke „organischen Noises“, die kaum an die eingesetzen Instrumente (Saxophon, Trompete, Tuba, Violine, Cello, Bass, Klavier, Akkordeon, Percussion, Electronics) erinnern. Aufgenommen im PODEWIL zu Berlin, März & Oktober 2001. Dark & surreal ambient mit heftigen Noise-Ausbrüchen im zweiten Stück, alles auf klassischen Instrumenten – großartig !!! Eine unserer Lieblings-CDs der letzten Zeit, unbedingte Empfehlung!!
ZEITKRATZER is an experimental / improvisational ensemble from Berlin using classical instruments, here they re-work two pieces of JOHN DUNCAN and create two great drone ambient – pieces with lots of unusual sounds in it (but nearly nothing reminds on the original sound-sources), and very intense noisy parts in piece 2. One of our favourite CDs from the last time here at drone-headquarters, so we really recommend to check it out to ANY drone-lover !! [Drone Rec. 2002]
