Album DE 2000 on Winter & Winter label
Jazz and Classical (Contemporary)
Digital recording at "Das TAT im Bockenheimer Depot", Frankfurt, December 14th - 17th, 1998 Digital mixing at Musikhochschule, Detmold, July 19th - 23rd, 1999 Digital editing at Bauer Studios, Ludwigsburg, August 9th, 1999 Digital mastering with super bit mapping at Bauer Studios, Ludwigsburg, October 12th, 1999 "Traffic Continues" (1996) consists of a number of cells of composed music which can be juxtaposed with improvisation of various kinds. The structure and precise content are determined spontaneously by the conductor, with the help of the players, during the course of each performance. Commissioned by the Klangspuren Festival in Schwaz, Austria, it was first performed in September 1996. "Traffic Continues II: Gusto (For Tom Cora)" (1998) was constructed, in the immediate aftermath of his death, around samples of the late Tom Cora's unique and extraordinary cello playing. Interpolated with great sensitivity by Hermann Kretzschmar, these quotations were taken from "Etymology", a record for sampling enthusiasts made by Skeleton Crew for the Rarefaction label in 1995. Commissioned by the Ensemble Modern, and premiered in the Philharmonie Köln in June 1998 (C) + (P) 2000 Winter&Winter, München, Germany CD-SmartPac® 193532321.1-53: Herzog + Idex CD-Packaging M 97 10 405.1 Print: Peter Postel GmbH Made in Germany ________________ 16 page booklet attached to SmartPac
