"Far-removed from well-worn new-music sound, it
is a free-associative journey on an uncensored plain of sound. This experimental
style is perhaps closer
to Eisler than the material itself. He manifests himself in a musical curiosity
that creates a new vision … a constant fusion of contrasting pieces,
which form amazingly consistent structures and a higher sensuousness." (Bayrischer
Rundfunk)
