Werner Dafeldecker - Polwechsel - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

You just have to listen carefully, was John Cage's simple guideline to Lorenzo Ferrero's music. A native of Turin, he has long been one of Italy's most successful contemporary composers and is Honorary President of the World Composers' Association CIAM. InchA Life in WavesInch is a compilation of compositions for chamber orchestra including InchMyBluesInch and InchFour Modern DancesInch, both of which have become well-known in their numerous arrangements. Ferrero's exceptional success as an opera composer is echoed in the InchIntermezzo NotturnoInch from InchMare NostroInch. In the 1980s, Ferrero masterfully integrated stylistic elements of rock music into classical structures, thereby creating a unique language. In InchParodiaInch, for example, he makes variations to Depeche Mode's InchBehind the WheelInch. I Pomeriggi Musicaliis Milan's renowned chamber music ensemble that has been led by conductors such as Claudio Abbado, Leonard Bernstein and Pierre Boulez. Following InchTempidi QuartettoInch with the Quartetto di Cremona,Inch A Life in WavesInch is now the second of works by Lorenzo Ferrero on klanglogo.

The Polwechsel project has been exponential in defining new approaches to the composition/improvisation paradigm and in doing so have created a music that defined, examined and radically reassessed it's own genre. Each phase of Polwechsel has been marked by a defining document and the releases of their recordings have frequently book-ended trends and movements in improvisational and experimental music-Polwechsel has had a direct and profound influence on the agenda of a genre coined electro acoustic improvisation, for example On Archives of the North, Polwechsel has switched again. The unit has transformed itself by adding the two percussionists, and these works all deal the application of percussion as centrifuge. This is a generative music which stems and blooms from a controlled and deliberate structural center. This work ascends from common notions of musicality and sound production, where obliteration, feedback and the extraneous are emancipated into a fully blown dialect which could be defined as expanded technique. -Dean M.
