Schmickler, Marcus

PARAM

Label: A-Musik Country: Germany

"Compositions by Marcus Schmickler that were performed and recorded between 1996 and 2000 with many various musicians and ensembles. These recordings document Schmickler's interest in a confrontation with modern classical composers, they are a return of 'the living dead.' According to Schmickler, innovations are only possible by including the old. Schmickler has been known also for his different approaches with Pluramon, MIMEO, his collaborations with Thomas Brinkmann or the improviser Thomas Lehn. Param continues his series of releases on A-Musik although it presents itself less electronic and less bulky than Wabi Sabi or Sator Rotas. The original recordings of the compositions are newly edited for this release."-A-Musik
