Title:	20 Jahre Inventionen III
Label:	EDITION RZ (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	RZ 4005CD

2004 release. One string quartet piece, recorded 2002, performed by the Arditti String Quartet at the Inventionen 2002 festival. Powerful, abstract, atmospheric. Sei-Jaku is one way of pronouncing the two characters of the title in Japanese. They stand for "Tarnished" and "Star." The other pronunciation "Sabita Boshi" points to a term of central importance in Japanese aesthetics: "Sabi." Although "Sabi" could be translated as "Tarnished," its meaning is not sufficiently represented by the English word.

Title:	Einfalt.Stille.
Label:	EDITION RZ (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	RZ 4007CD

2007 release. Flow. State. Through concentration on listening or concentration on what we are listening to we can enter a state of simplicity of mind which is a state of the highest inner clarity or inner silence. In other words: when concentrating on the flow of music we can reach an inner state: The inner silence which is the simultaneity of stasis and flow. This paradoxical situation poses the question: is the flow of music passing us, is music flowing through us thus evoking this inner stasis or is it not a state at all what we experience: should we not most seriously take into consideration the possibility that it is us who are flowing through the sound?" Interpreters: Bettina Junge (flute), Natalia Pschenitschnikova (voice), Adam Weisman (percussion), Karen Lorenz (viola).
