Gunter Muller created these four works by focusing on one cymbal and one singing bowl, which he recorded and processed to create sound sources, and then used to perform these improvisations.
"cym_bowl is Gunter Muller's fourth solo CD. On cym_bowl he follows even more consequently the idea he already realized on his last album 'reframed'; focused on the sound of one cymbal and one singing bowl; he fed his ipods with dozens of variations of processed sounds. Afterwards he conceived with recorded material from sessions he improvised with processed cymbal and bowl sounds only the 4 pieces for his new album. cym_bowl could easily go as a symbol of getting lost in time."-Mikroton
