GODREC 061LP
|
2020 release. Peter Ablinger is one of home composers of GOD Records. His cult releases Regenstücke 1 and 2 (GODREC 018LP) and Voices and Piano (GODREC 034LP) are part of every serious record collection around the globe. With Orchesterstücke, Ablinger finally delivers some of his remarkable orchestra pieces in last ten years. The release contains three of Ablinger's orchestra pieces: "Quartz", "Wachstum, Massenmord", and highly controversial piece "4 Weiss", for orchestra and white noise, the piece that caused utterly polarized reactions at its premiere on 2019 edition of festival Wien Modern. This LP documents notorious event in the best possible way -- stunning performance and angry audience reaction. Transparent red vinyl.

GODREC 018LP
|
2013 release. Regenstücke Vol. 1 (2012) deals with a rain aesthetic in pure instrumental form; Vol. 2 shows Peter Ablinger's fascination with techniques of field recordings, accompanied by different ensembles and orchestra setups. Ablinger has been exploring different sides and features of nature recordings for a very long time, always achieving new territories and pushing boundaries to a higher level. Regenstücke Vol. 2 represents only a minority of that output. City noise, landscape sounds, rain drops, boosted with powerful instrumentation -- simple and almost manifestly. Not forgetting "instrumental raining", Membrane, and Regen, as a part of his cycle Weiss / Weisslich (2002), Vol. 2 shows concert version of the piece for eight glass tubes -- just like hearing eight church bells surrounding your brain... Personnel: Edo Mičić -- conducting; Nassir Heidarian - conducting; Isabel Pérez-Requeijo - conducting; Adam Weisman -percussion; Winfried Ritsch - computer controlled pianos; Ensembles: Zeitfluss Graz and Bruckner Orchestra Linz.

GODREC 034LP
|
Austrian composer Peter Ablinger's Voices and Piano performed by English pianist and avant-garde specialist Nicolas Hodges. "The general idea of Voices and Piano probably has to do with the fact that when somebody speaks to me I never miss the melody of the speech but sometimes the meaning. When I was a young boy my mother asked me to go out to buy a pound of butter, 10 eggs and a loaf of bread. I listened very attentively. I loved how she spoke to me. I hopped on my bike, rode to the store and waited in the line until it was my turn -- only then to realize that I had not listened to the content of the message and had to ride back home to ask. . . ."

"The throbbing standstill as changing tinge of light, as a slow change (of light and therefore of space and time), fifty minutes long. 'Grisailles 1-100' for three pianos consists of various levels of overlapping sound-layers. Repeated octaves and small, barely audible sounds made by fingers darting across the keys seem to be two of these levels. Peter Ablinger composed twenty-four layers to start with -- each one following its own time and structure --before these were being combined in a preliminary score." -- Christian Scheib. First recording of this work, by Hildegard Kleeb (piano), recorded 12/98.
