"At the threshold of organic sound and simulative samples stands Lutz Glandien, the Berlin based composer whose multi-genre fluency in classical training and as an electronic producer make him the perfect compositional vessel for a work as quixotic as Lost In Rooms. Blending the aforementioned ingredients into a 'investigative' musical piece, Lost in Rooms examines both the conflicting and intersecting points of 'real' and manipulated sounds. Glandien deftly dissects, mixes and melds a hyper-real illumination of the powerful tensions that defines the mix-and-match metaphor, deconstructing conventions as quickly as he creates new ones with a compositional discipline that is rare for such a diverse artistic pallet."

"The 5th Elephant is an album of extremely aggressive, hypnotic, Gothic, Industrial techno, which sounds like the front cover looks -- like the planet in Ridley Scott's Alien. Lutz Glandien is a Berlin based composer whose mastery of the electronic studio, and freedom to move between genres at will is confirmed by this release. Crunching sounds, repetitive driving rhythms, terrifying science fiction soundscapes, backwards voices -- there is enough here to satisfy the most hard core fan, and keep the rest of us gasping for breath. That Glandien is a contemporary classical composer just adds to the mystery, and his leaping across the genres celebrates the bizarre correlation of interests between classical electronic music and the techno underground."

Glandien is a former resident of East Germany, who had a collaboration CD with Chris Cutler out a few years ago. "...presents work from another world altogether, with 4 long pieces, each a dialogue between acoustic instruments and electronic accompaniment on tape. The musical language is a bizarre mixture of post Berg/Messiaen/Feldman, the kind of electronic soundscapes often buried inside Techno-Trance music...". Includes work "For Percussion and Tape," (a beautiful electro-acoustic piece of soft, Feldmanesque ringing tones), as well as tape and string quartet, piano & drums.
