KUHR, GERD - Revue Instrumentale Et Electronique

2014 release. "God Records present compositions by a crucial Austrian composer, Gerd Kühr. Gerd Kühr is known for combining complexity and simplicity, modernity and "tradition". Revue Instrumentale Et Électronique is a spatial composition for an instrumental ensemble, recorded sound in six movements. Kühr manages to cross and unite a variety of aspects in musical expression, complex, though powerful rhythmical constructions with hard accented percussion boosted through an ensemble spread out in a room, and highly lyrical passages with extreme appreciation of time structured silence. All of this comes with an astounding fluency between different characters of the piece, mirrored through pre-recorded ensemble sounds with slight echoing. An exact, precise, and passionate performance by Klangfoum Wien. Personnel: Emilio Pomárico, Klangforum Wien, IEM Graz." - God.
