Peter Ablinger: Regenstucke 2 – VINYL LP

2013 release. Regenstücke Vol. 1 (2012) deals with a rain aesthetic in pure instrumental form; Vol. 2 shows Peter Ablinger’s fascination with techniques of field recordings, accompanied by different ensembles and orchestra setups. Ablinger has been exploring different sides and features of nature recordings for a very long time, always achieving new territories and pushing boundaries to a higher level. Regenstücke Vol. 2 represents only a minority of that output. City noise, landscape sounds, rain drops, boosted with powerful instrumentation – simple and almost manifestly. Not forgetting instrumental raining”, Membrane, and Regen, as a part of his cycle Weiss / Weisslich (2002), Vol. 2 shows concert version of the piece for eight glass tubes – just like hearing eight church bells surrounding your brain… Personnel: Edo Mi conducting; Nassir Heidarian – conducting; Isabel Pérez-Requeijo – conducting; Adam Weisman -percussion; Winfried Ritsch – computer controlled pianos; Ensembles: Zeitfluss Graz and Bruckner Orchestra Linz.”
