Title: Regenstucke 2 Artist: Peter Ablinger Label: God Records Product Type: VINYL LP UPC: 769791966857 Genre: Electronic Release Date: 2017-07-28 Number of Discs: 1
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.
