Press Reviews |
20070628: Matthias Kranebitter, the 27 year-old, sound engineer and composer, was one of the musicians: he called his latest composition "7enden" [...] Christoph Cech (p), Herbert Mayr (b) und Michael Williams (cello) played carefully mapped out miniatures, which appeared as a catalogue of sonic states of aggregation: filigree glissando structures, pseudo-jazz swing abstractions, counter point-like complexities, austere noise textures - the music is at its most powerful the moment the composer intervenes from his mixer, returning incalculability to the sounds via electronic live processing. Der Standard (Andreas Felber)
