miniature for 4 guitars and electronics 1.40 min.sec

Premiered on the "Zeitgenuss Festival" 2023 in the Wofgang Riehm Forum, Karlsruhe

"Spheres Of Resonance" by Ludger Brümmer included in the Bestenliste 4/2022 of the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik, in the category "Electronic and Experimental".
Inevitably, images arise in front of the inner eye. The works of Ludger Brümmer lead into sound spaces of hypnotic aura. Brümmer, who created important innovations for sound generation at the Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe (ZKM), is one of the most important composers for computer music. All tracks on this double CD were produced with up to 42 channels for playback over a spatial sound environment. With "Spheres of Resonance" Wergo offers a kaleidoscope of examples of Bruemmer's methods of granular synthesis of early music and physical modeling, for example. Fascinatingly perfect and beautiful.

The US ensemble The Hub is one of the pioneers of network music and live coding.
The formation consisting of Tim Perkis, Scot Gresham-Lancaster, Chris Brown, John Bischoff, Phil Stone, and Mark Trayle emerged from the League of Automatic Music Composers in 1986. They revolutionized electronic music with democratically organized composition and performance processes operating in networks and received the Giga-Hertz Prize from the ZKM | Hertz-Lab. The publication depicts the collective’s work in a historical context, allows companions and musicologists to have their say and brings together the group’s (annotated) compositional writings for the first time. These scores form the heart of the book and are not only archival documents, but also instructions for playing and the starting point for future projects of a new generation of network music.
