To escape the rigidity of the piano in this 68-minute single piece, dark ambient pioneer Thomas K÷ner uses his distinctive angsts to understand music as something filling the space of the temporal dimension rather than as a succession of multi-layered sounds. Over his long, celebrated career, he has worked between audiovisual installation works, sound art, minimal soundscapes, and as one half of Porter Ricks. Among others, he has composed film soundtracks and music to accompany historic silent films for the Louvre Museum and the MusÚe d'Orsay, Paris, who have called him "a major innovator in the contemporary music scene." |
