Three years after German composer and pianist Dietrich Eichmann's first
release on Leo (duets with
Jeff Arnal CD LR 390) he finally presents a new
project of improvised music. The result is astonishingly detailed
architectural complexity of relentless, yet beautiful and humorous
soundscapes, certainly due to his very distinct choice of musicians for this
ensemble. The highly innovative use of the hearing aid as a musical
instrument by singer Gunnar Brandt-Sigurdsson appears to be the perfect
counterpart to Michael Griener's precise drumming and Chris Heenan's strange
and noisy, reed-produced beauties. Two other members of the ensemble are
bass players Alexander Frangenheim and Christian Weber.
