After the widely noticed performance at the InchAcht Brücken Festival 2016Inch at Cologne's Philharmonic Hall, Gregor Schwellenbach, Hauschka, Erol Sarp (of Grandbrothers), Daniel Brandt and Paul Frick (both of Brandt Brauer Frick) and John Kameel Farah their interpretation of Steve Reich's InchSix PianosInch as a studio recording via FILM. The re-recording of this piece is an interpretation of Reich's composition but still far more than just that - it is a modern approach to his idea behind it. The basic idea came up at the beginning of the '70s at the Baldwin Piano & Organ Company in New York. During a rehearsal phase, which Steve Reich spent in this very piano store, the idea emerged of writing a composition for all the grand pianos available to him at the company. By the time of the finished piece, the actual number of pianos had settled down to six, where InchSix PianosInch developed in 1973. On the occasion of his 80th birthday, the six pianists declare their love to Steve Reich with this . Shaped by electronic club music as well as their classical education, they form InchSix PianosInch in dignified modernity and top it off with today's sound aesthetics and technical recording possibilities. Presented here is not the recording from the Kölner Philharmonie (Cologne Philharmonics), but the ensemble playing six different grand pianos in six different locations throughout Germany. Each pianist performed his part on his piano using his typical studio equipment and passed the recording over to the next one. Thus the six characteristic and individual timbres of the performers overlay to create the overall picture - InchSix PianosInch the way it should be looked at in 2016. Jan Brauer mixed InchSix PianosInch in the studio while Lukas Vogel provided delays for the InchKeyboard Study #1Inch. InchKeyboard Study #1Inch by T
