Notes

VIEWS was conceived in January 2003. Recordings were done for track 1 in January, for track 2 in February, and for tracks 3 and 4 in March 2003. Final Mix: April 2003. All 4 pieces are based on three or four instrumental improvisations by RLW, re-constructed by spontaneous mix afterwards. Track 1 is recorded with tone-generator (TG 77) using self-programmed sounds. An early version of the sounds had been created for the CD" ACHT . The programs have been designed to be controlled via wheels, not by keyboards. The tuning is in 1/8 tone, every sound consist of up to four sound-sources (oscillators), that respond in different ways to the controllers. Track 2 is based on four spontaneous recordings of musical actions in the recordings room, mostly with Orff percussions instruments (designed for children) plus some other tools lying around. Track 3 uses two musical boxes, which were not used by playing along, but seen as instruments, for instance creating wahwah-sounds by squeezing the boxes. The only external instrument was an electrical toolbrush. Track 4 is based on one feedback version each from tracks 2 and 3, one tone-generator track from the recordings of track 1, plus two additional recordings of electric guitar (played back and forth).

Made in Canada.

Really interesting sounds. When I first heard this, I liked the long electronic first track, but the other tracks seemed mismatched. But I was expecting too much. Listening later, I heard the disc while not knowing it was RLW again, and I was very astonished. What had bothered me earlier -electric toothbrush feedback, etc... actually became highly satisfying. It's a good example of how listening free from expectation can result in a better experience. A studious play of the disc, with the thought "Wow, RLW!" did not lead to the right appreciation. This is electronic composition at a high level of abstraction, and makes good ambiance. Hear consciously but relaxed.
