New release on Black Rose Recordings. This is a cinematic and inspiring musical journey which combines beautiful ambience interspersed with haunting atmospheres and electro-acoustic soundscapes.
Comes with great artwork by Chris Low.

Electroacoustic music and the concept of cinema d'oreilles have always had a close relationship. From Walter Ruttmann’s Weekend (1939) to Jerome Noetinger's series of MCD releases of the same name (Metamkine, 1992 - 2002), right through to the present day. It is important to note that electroacoustic music is not programme music, but autonomous: it does not condition the listener's imagination to a film score (as most film music does) but opens paths for the listener's own ideas and projections. The listener is encouraged to develop their own creativity; it is not about manipulating his ideas in predetermined ways. The compositions on this CD and their sequence offer the opportunity for free associations, their titles can serve as clues or be ignored, and pure musical listening is also possible: ... pictures might be fading. Or not. It's up to you.

Ralf Wehowsky is one of the most respected electronic composers of our day and was one of the founder members of the seminal German group P16.D4 and the label Selektion, whose ground-breaking releases influenced many working in today’s experimental music scene. Previous releases have seen him collaborate with such well known and diverse artists such as Merzbow, Bernhard Guenter, Jim O’Rourke, Achim Wollscheid and Lionel Marchetti. His music is impossible to pigeonhole into one simple bracket. It is neither industrial or musique concrete, nor computer music nor improvisation.
