about

I was listening to a disc of Schoenberg's piano music in early February and it occurred to me that the next recording in my "composer" series, following on from "Satie", "Cage" and "Beethoven", could be based on the Second Viennese School.

So, I set about compiling pieces I might use by each of the three composers involved, Arnold Schoenberg and his pupils, Anton Webern and Alban Berg, concentrating on slow movements, with the emphasis on solo piano pieces and string quartet works.

Each of the new works created for this album combines simultaneous multiple performances which have been edited, treated and manipulated to produce new, original pieces which contain the "DNA", so to speak, of each composer's work. Field recordings, also treated and manipulated, are present on each track, in some cases more noticeably than in others...

If this were to be available in physical form, it'd be a 2CD set - including a second, bonus disc, only available on download.

The extra works are based on treatments, edits and manipulation of a combination of the nine works on the main album - hence the titles "Schoenberg Webern Berg", plus further field recordings, made in Seligenstadt in Germany in 2019 and, on the final track, percussion "found" online.

I hope you enjoy listening to these pieces as much as I did creating them.

about

Cloudland Blue Quartet Edinburgh, UK

A quartet in name only, initially influenced by Fripp & Eno's "No Pussyfooting" and The Velvet Underground's debut, songwriter & soundscaper David Reilly started musicking in 1977 by creating drones using sellotape on the keys of his dad's Bontempi Organ. The subsequent junk shop purchases of an electric guitar & fuzzbox and the acquisition of an old Beatles songbook, led him into songwriting... ... more

a surprise, a new Jeff Greinke! i was always hoping that one day he would return to his early ethnic style after his definitive move towards modern ambient chamber music.. but this 'new direction' really hits the spot for me. beautiful introspective harmonics and textures. very difficult to pick a favorite track here. 'Lost Terrain' was personally an important release to me and this one will be that most likely too.. i hope his future work will bring more like this.. igesch
