For this release the respected improvisation duo of Reinhold Friedl, inside piano and Michael Vorfeld, percussion and stringed instruments is joined by Bernhard Günter, electric cellotar. Reinhold, Michael, and me first got together to play concert at the Podewil in Berlin in November 2003. After the soundcheck as our sole rehearsal we played a really intense set, and were astonished by how well our playing as a trio functioned. We then spent the next day recording in the same space at the Podewil, a recording session that was both mentally and physically so intense it left us exhausted (I still distinctly remember our hands trembling). MESSAGE URGENT now presents these recordings. This trio music is quite different from that of my trio +minus, it is quite dense (at times almost orchestral) and intense, although of very low volume (please resist the temptation to turn the volume up), constantly changing atmospheres and moods. The intensity of our session is well captured by the recording (as well as a bit of background noise that becomes noticeable during the most silent moments), and so the CD provides a listening experience you should not miss. We have played a concert in Strasbourg in the meantime, and I hope we will be performing together again in the future. |

As the title implies, +minus [first meeting] is the result of the first meeting of bernhard günter with Graham Halliwell, and Mark Wastell. It also implies that what was intended to be a recording project has become a group, my first group since fifteen years, and named +minus: bernhard günter: electric cellotar and composed basis tracks Graham Halliwell: saxophone feedback Mark Wastell: amplified textures, nepalese prayer bowls and gong +minus' music is improvised, but not purely so: two of the four tracks on our first artist use some of my older, noise oriented pieces as their structural basis, while the two others are indeed improvised. We understand improvisation as 'instant composition', and the result is an intuitively played cross-over between electroacoustic and improvised music of generally quiet and comtemplative character. Our group name alludes to our playing 'plus' and 'minus' pre-recorded composed basis tracks. Our first meeting led to the virtually immediate creation of a new musical vocabulary and language specific to this particular group of musicians - something I have never experienced to happen in such a short time in the past. |

Presents one piece each in homage to Morton Feldman by Richard Chartier, Steve Roden, and me on the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of his death in September 1987. I am amazed how well these pieces, in spite of being quite different in style, work together to constitute a whole. They also express the influence Morton Feldman's sublime works have had (and still have) on us in our personal ways of creating music. Richard's HOW THINGS CHANGE is a rather intimate, pensive piece made of abstract electronic sounds and long streches of silence, while Steve's STASIS is probably the most hypnotic and atmosperic set of slowly orbiting loops he has ever created. I, who like to say that the safest to expect from me is the unexpected, have composed a piece for winter rain, small brook, and sho, titled FUYU NO AME (FOR MORTON FELDMAN), a piece that belongs to what I have called my 'musique concrète, enhanced' strain of work, but sounds like else nothing I have done. I have mastered the CD to form a unit with the silences between the works in proportion with the silences they contain. When the master was finished I noticed that the cover I had designed beforehand actually did not fit in with the music presented, and so designed an entirely new one. This cover will be the first full color cover for Trente Oiseaux, anticipating the switch to full color covers I had planned for 2003. I believe that this release is one of Trente Oiseaux's finest, in both the music it presents, and it's attractive packaging. (bernard günter) |

| Decisive Forms is a very subtle, abstract work of great detail, a perfect object for contemplation thatrequires the listener's full attention. I find it extremely captivating to follow as it unfolds over time, to adjust my breathing to its slow pulse, and to be completely absorbed by the act of perception itself without thinking in form of interior comments, descriptions, or associations. Decisive Forms is another step forward Richard is taking from his fine work series that has just received one of the twelve Honorable Mentions of PRIX ARS ELECTRONICA 2001. I will not try to further describe Decisive Forms, but rather encourage you to go ahead and experience it yourself - the attention it requires is generously rewarded. * bernhard günter, may 2001 |

When Matt Shoemaker sent me a demo of Groundless , it was quite a revelation for me - "cinema-scope" being the first term flashing across my mind hearing it... He is a very original artist, using a very well integrated combination of concrete and electronic sounds for a 55 minutes long journey through ever changing soundscapes. Listening to it on headphones in the dark was a real trip for me, and i have to say that Matt's music is entertaining in the best possible sense of the term - it does not know a single minute of boredom. * bernhard günter, September 2000 "Hey Matt! Thanks a lot for the CD. It's truly a superb work, one of the best I've heard in a long time. You've managed to create an amazing sense of inner space, odd sonic dimensions, and a delicate richness that are very unusual and certainly thrilling. Congratulations."* Francisco López, April 2001 |

| Title: Four Installations | |
| Label: Trente Oiseaux | |
| Format: CD | |
| Cod. nr. TOC992 |
| M.Behrens' second CD on Trente Oiseaux, Four Installations can be seen as the counterpart to his intricate electroacoustic compositions: it contains soundtracks of four different sound and mixed media installations made during 1998 and the beginning of 1999. The often very minimal sound events are actually capable of transporting the listener into the various spaces. Locations in which the installations took place range from the basement of the Institute for New Media in Frankfurt, Germany, full of computers, to a rural village in the mountain area at the border between Italy and Slovenia. |

| Steve Roden is a visual and sound artist from Los Angeles, known for his musical work under the name of "in be tween noise". Steve felt that this particular work, music for an installation he has done, was far enough from the music of "in be tween noise" to ask us to release it under his own name. It is a quiet soundscape, produced by using only a microphone and a speaker to create the sound material, and designed to fill the room at a moderate loudness to let the listener take a 42 minutes bath in a strange atmosphere, repetitive, but changing all the time. |

| Roel Meelkop was (maybe still is?) a member of a legendary Dutch electro-acoustic music group THU20 (whose third CD is never finished, or so it seems) and who produced some solo cassettes as Mailcop. Besides he works as a visual artist and is a member of Kapotte Muziek whenever there is a live concert. His nine piece CD is different from that Trente Oiseaux style in the sense that every piece is recognizable as a new piece and the CD is very well playable on a normal audio set. Meelkop takes the advantage of sampling acoustic sounds and stretches them, thus collaging the composition. Most of the tracks start with either low end bass rumbling or high pitches crackles. But everything added on top is recognizable. The fifth track, the center of the CD, is the soundtrack to a video of Jos Moers and the use of feedback tones seems some what out of place. However it does break the CD. The sixth track 'vergeten' one hears the human voice making a sound, and shows the humorous side of this kind of serious music. In all a varied CD which everyone should cherish. [Frans de Waard - Vital Weekly #57] |
