The four pieces on this CD demonstrate the amazing possibilities of 'sound-alchemy' still with analog means. LANDSCHAFT uses only piano-music by Friedrich Gulda as a basic material, EVE and KLEINE FUGE only double bass sounds, while BITTERSWEET confrontates both sources in a melancholic mood.
Landschaft is the pure tape-part of the last cooperation of Günther Rabl with Friedrich Gulda, Landschaft mit Pianist (landscape with piano player) for tape and piano improvisation 1986.
"Hard to believe, that the whole sound spectrum should be derived from piano sounds. The variform, sometimes even threatening sounds, though invariable coming from tape, seemed to be the anarchic part in this event."
