tenney: harmonium #2 - for lou harrison (1976)

tenney: critical band für any 16 or more sustaining instruments (1988/2000)

schlothauer: accidental microtonal sounds - together (2019)

(...) Members of Zeitkratzer and Zinc + Copper plus local musicians formed the ensemble to bring more avant-garde performance to the German city, and they do so here with a unique expertise. (...) As extensions of Tenney’s climactic swell pieces and with their sustained instrumentation, these works at least succeed as exciting drone music. Of course, there’s more going on beneath the surface. (...)
Keith Prosk

(...) Een ander aspect dat kenmerkend is voor de muziek van deze man is de grote mate van subtiliteit. Een aspect dat met name opvalt in de grote rijkdom aan muzikale kleuren en nuances in ‘Critical Band for Any 16 or More Sustaining Insturments’. (...)

(...) Schlothauer et son ensemble réalisent ces deux pièces avec une précision et une finesse flagrante. On peut ressentir les heures de préparation et de plongée dans ces partitions. Chaque instrumentiste semble connaître et maîtriser chaque recoin microtonal et chaque battement de fréquence, et surtout chaque musicien semble prendre du plaisir à s’immerger dans ces pièces, à les partager et à nous y inviter. Et effectivement c’est un plaisir de voyager dans ces sortes de nuages où les consonances douces flirtent avec des dissonances légèrement tendues, où le flot harmonique nous entraîne dans un bain de notes rayonnantes et lumineuses.

„Burkhard Schlothauer ziseliert Klavierklänge und Korpusgeräusche zu magischer Intensität.“ NMZ 6/02
“(…) The varied damping and inside-the-piano techniques create chords that are calming, sculptural, and very enjoyable. It really does deserve a good listen. Abtasten could be called minimal, but the richness of its chords and decays is more like Feldman’s late works with their extended developments of scant materials. (…)”

SEVEN - John Cage

15 similarevents – septet für Altflöte, Klarinette, Streichtrio, Klavier und große Trommel
- composed by Burkhard Schlothauer

"Its probably no surprise to learn that both compositions are played in a quiet, studied manner and that both exude a gentle and beautiful charm. There are clear links to be drawn between the New York School of thought from the 50's and the work of the Wandelweiser collective today. These two works compliment each other well, both concerned with the balance of indeterminacy and prescribed composition.(...)"

Fallow Vegetation  - Acheulian Handaxe AHA 1805
Burkhard Schlothauer - 5-string electric violin, electronics
Ulrich Phillipp - live processing

Complex and at the same time transparent noise structures, flowing and abstractly rhythmic, long tender and lonely sounds - sparse landscapes. The music of the CD is „post“ in many respects - whether post-rock, post-jazz or post-New Music remains open. A touch of Miles Davis, a spark of Krautrock or Jimi Hendrix, a drop of electronic European art music.
Phillipp brings his laptop with a complex self-constructed Max/MSP-patch, Schlothauer his 5-String electric violin, effect board and loop-station. No sequence is prepared, everything is built spontaneously in the moment of playing. The space is void in the beginning. Sounds appear and are fed into the machines to take a longer or shorter journey of processing.The music on this cd is partly dense. Some parts seem to root more in rock music than in "classical" electronic music. Others feature scratches and colored noises from extended playing techniques of Improvised and New Music. "Ordinary tones” are rare.

Nur/Nicht/Nur ‎– BERSLTON 110 03 08 

 (...) Throughout scrubbed and sanded string timbres make common cause with sharply angled flute peeps and lightly pressurized rolled tongue actions from the clarinetist. Continuously evolving in andante or allegro pulses, pauses and accelerations also mark measurers for recurrent splayed and strident guitar strokes, pedal-point-pitched bowing from the bassist and violin runs that are distanced, sometimes monotone and habitually sul ponticello. Overall the result is that of flattened microtonalism; skewed chamber inventions that skirt chiaroscuro without becoming monochrome (...)  With its unusual – for so-called classical music – instrumental grouping, the quintet is self contained as an atypical and singular chamber ensemble. This CD can be appreciated by anyone with an open mind to cerebral and provocative small group sounds.

NITESTYLEZ.de, Wednesday, April 22, 2015
„(...)Based on the idea of a continous musical stream created of layers and layers of live bits, looped, overdubbed and replayed with additional layers of live improvisation, a steady evolution in sound the Jazz- , Classical and band-savvy triumvirate creates an organic flow yet reflecting the echoes of their musical heritage and - in parts - slightly paying homage to Dub techniques but usually wandering the realms between Dark Ambient, Drones and classical Ambient structures as well as touching the borders of Electronica every now and then whilst a tune like „Miles Groams“ even reminisces of Dancehall beatwise before off rhythm percussions and electric guitar improvisations break up familiar structures, steering into new, unexplored terrain and the two bonus tracks come up with a new view on the genre mostly referred to as Future Jazz. Possibly best reflected by the uberly intense, alarming „Sirene“ and the cold, alien ritual music of „Pulse-Streams“ as well as the dreamy, somnabulant Post-PostRock of the 16+ minutes spanning „I Have A Dream“ Fuzzylogics debut presents an interesting approach towards experimental music that sounds electronic but is generated live and in real time. Check.“
