EMBRACE 4

Side A

Orakelstücke (Peter Ablinger)

‘There is a sense of the mystery in the everyday, the transformation of common materials as touchstones, common to both Christians and Buddhists, the Christian rosary, the small stones carried by pilgrims and left at holy sites, the Buddhist Mani stones and beads, and the relics and shards common to many faiths. That sense of heightened significance might be heard in the isolated percussive strikes that are crucial components in the identical theme statements that open and conclude the piece.’
– Stuart Broomer

Michael Moser cello, voice, objects
Werner Dafeldecker double bass, voice, objects
Burkhard Beins feedback microphone, voice, objects
Martin Brandlmayr vibraphone, voice, objects

Recorded in December 2022 by Sebastian Pracher at Spielzimmer, Bad Goisern, Austria

Side B

Aquin (Klaus Lang)

‘The sense of duration in the piece extends to the sense of historical time occupied by the music as well as the music’s gradual evolution. Even without the title suggestion, there’s a sense of just intonation arising in the pitches, a suggestion that the music’s medieval duration of tones extends to the later material’s hints at a spectral emphasis in the strings. Aquin’s invocation of the past, and an ancient ecclesiastical vision of socio-economic justice, echoes through to the contemporary circumstances of Embrace.’
– Stuart Broomer

The uncertainty of the next moment and the perfect choice of expression, intensity and tension. This record is not only of historical value, it is the equivalent of seeing a phenomenon that has never been seen before. A fundamental thing. jiristepan

Not your average free improv blow-out, this is lyrical, inventive & intelligent. Mellow and beautiful enough to appeal to a wide range of ears. The recording is fantastic with a lovely room ambience. Rory C
