On INLANDISH (50'60"), Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Tim Story
explore musical and personal memories. Their exuberant
reimaginings of ideas set forth by Cluster freely alludes to the
entire history of electronic music. Roedelius is acknowledged as
an artist of unique expressive power. His piano themes ground
each of the 12 works, above which Tim Story integrates a
wonderful jumble of atmospheric pads and thick synth leads as
well as electronic buzzes, clicks and groans. Viola, oboe and
cello also inhabit a few tracks and tinge each unique vignette
with elegance and tenderness. The experience is an
adventurous exploration, delivered as if in intimate, personal
touch with the listener.
Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from Roedelius
& Story and the CD INLANDISH
