To be within the sound - not to expect anything - no beautiful moments - no big emotions - no artfulness- but to follow, from note to note, a sound that carries the music, a sound within the sound: it changes slowly at a tempo that suggests a movement at a great distance, one that might leave our gravitational field, in which gravity is reduced and which is not even always recognized because of its slowness. This "sound-space", which touches the cosmos but is at the same time perceptible right down to the fingertips, carries a reality that here and now is a buzz in the ear, yet at the same time comprehends an entire ambience: time rendered into a space by sound.
Beyond all taboos of an old avant-garde, a new territory might be found here where old prohibitions mark the milestones of gradual progress into the terrain of a country in which many things are not only permissible, but must be found again - probably, however, somewhere along the line (a very long line) of tradition.
(Ernstalbrecht Stiebler)
