Composition for improvisors does not have to result in the garnished claptrap of an Jon Lloyd or Barry Guy. Here, Werner Dafeldecker (bass, guitar) and Michael Moser (cello) operate like Luigi Nono, they organize events that interrogate the process of sound production. Along with Radu Malfatti (trombone) and Burkhard Stangl (electric guitar), they spin a tense, linear music almost hysterical in its focus. It is hard to credit that traditional instruments can actually make these sounds, let alone musicians array the results in such spindled webs of weird conjuncture.
Polwechsel hear possibilities in the interstices of conventional timbre. The effect is shocking, the inner self eviscerated, your very guts pinned out on the dissection table. Scary and very, very special.
