Bernhard Lang: Flute & Bass

The work of Austrian composer Bernhard Lang (b. 1957) is difficult to fit into any one musical category. His oeuvre references a wide variety of musical styles and genres, ranging from free jazz and improvisation to hip hop and DJ culture. The three works on this release showcase an enormous amount of virtuosity. The incessant and rapid repetition of complex musical cells pushes the performers to the edge of their technical abilities. This makes for a highly concentrated and intimate experience for both the performers and their audiences.
