The next full-length album on Wolfgang Voigt's Profan label Freiland Klaviermusik,
a collection of avant-garde minimal compositions.
The album follows Voigt's 2008 EP of the same name, which translates to "Wild
Piano Music." Even for Voigt, who has released loads of experimental music under
guises like Studio 1, Mike Inc, and Gas, the first Freiland Klaviermusik was
notably challenging, consisting of little more than dissonant piano and simple
bass kicks. In his RA review of the record, Jon Dale described Freiland
Klaviermusik as "admirably confusingûand, one suspects, confused."
In addition to sharing a title, both records were inspired by the work of Conlon
Nancarrow, a 20th century composer who wrote music for player pianos. Much of
Nancarrow's work was too fast and difficult for any human musician to perform,
and eventually earned the title "impossible music." Voigt finds his compositions
highly inspiring, both for their innovative use of machinery and their feeling
of unpredictability.
The packaging for Freiland Klaviermusik features a painting by Voigt, which he
terms a "tetrapakpainting" (which, if you're curious, "covers, combines and
confronts a predetermined mechanical structure... with a more or less a free,
progressive and rhythmic painting technique.") The new full-length is the second
release on Profan since Voigt revived it earlier this year.
