"Performed by Steffen Schleiermacher (keyboard realization and programming) & Bernd E. Gengelbach (sound projection). Minimal music and its strangely fascinating suspended sound animation has long held cult status in the musical world. On this CD Schleielermacher offers more new innovations with Terry Riley's 'Keyboard Studies #1' and '#2'. The keyboard studies are a few pages with short musical formulas and a long 'user's guide' requiring a lot of thought and organizational energy before things can be put into practice. Schleiermacher soon recognized that one interpreter alone couldn't realize the tricky polyphony of the keyboard studies. Schleiermacher arranged the pieces for electronic keyboard. A computer exercises the proper control, so that the voices are never heard simultaneously and the tones occur in rapid succession. An oscillating sound fabric is the result -- in dimensions creating the impression of eternity."
