NEW SOUNDS:

CD-RELEASE HKM+ / diatribes / piero sk / rehnig / sienknecht in march 2010


CD is now available at Resting Bell netlabel (http://www.restingbell.net/releases/rb080-hkm-diatribes-piero-sk-rehnig-sienknecht)


( ... ) a very, very fine piece of improvised music, made by HKM+ and diatribes together with Piero SK, Robert Rehnig and Johannes Sienknecht. HKM+ is an ensemble for electroacoustic improvisation which consists of Ludger Hennig (software instruments), Christof Knoche (bass clarinet / electronics) and Markus Markowski (prepared guitar/ software instruments). diatribes were a trio in the beginning and changed now to a polymorphous formation, accuratly incomplete, extending its spectrum with guest musicians.

These eight people met last year in an abandonned building in Leipzig and recorded a big bunch of material, which finally became this wonderful 50-minute release. It is raw, acoustic (even if there are software elements in it) and free ( ... ) You can always feel the instruments, the movement and the creative space, created by the whole group ( ... )
