Ernstalbrecht Stiebler & Tilman Kanitz
Stiebler is one of Germany's most consistent explorers of sustained tones and minimal structures - his work hovers in that magical space between sound and silence. Here paired with Kanitz for an intimate dialogue. Patient, luminous, endlessly rewarding listening. Music that demands - and rewards - your full attention.
The Pankow-Park Sessions
The Pankow-Park Sessions Vol.1 is a striking documentation of collaboration between Ernstalbrecht Stiebler and Tilman Kanitz, offering a series of works that blur distinctions between composition and improvisation in an acoustic setting. These recorded sessions capture the artists’ shared sensitivity to resonance, duration, and the momentary emergence of musical events. Rather than foregrounding virtuosic display or dense structuring, the album cultivates a sense of spaciousness where tones, sil…
Unisono Diviso
* 2021 Stock * About 1960, when serialism was pushed into an abundant mathematically structured complexity by composers such as Stockhausen or Boulez, young Ernstalbrecht Stiebler choose a completely different way - a radical backlash to the successors of Webern in Darmstadt: "No ‘mediations’, no permutations of sound material, but a way towards a further reduction of the material instead. At that time I had the feeling of entering onto new ground," Stiebler recalls.

Im Klang Sein
*2020 stock* To be within the sound - not to expect anything - no beautiful moments - no big emotions - no artfulness- but to follow, from note to note, a sound that carries the music, a sound within the sound: it changes slowly at a tempo that suggests a movement at a great distance, one that might leave our gravitational field, in which gravity is reduced and which is not even always recognized because of its slowness.
This "sound-space", which touches the cosmos but is at the same time percep…
Fűr Biliana
Ernstalbrecht Stiebler’s Für Biliana unfolds as a quietly powerful study in sustained resonance and tactile silence, brought to life with understated virtuosity by Biliana Voutchkova and her collaborators. Across four compositions - including the eponymous solo piece and “Glissando,” both written for Voutchkova, as well as “Duo 4 / Parallelen” and “Extension für Streichtrio” - Stiebler investigates the possibilities of sonority, repetition, and space in chamber music. His distinctive architectur…
Zwischen den Tönen
Between the Tones" - and that's exactly where Stiebler operates. Double LP of his sustained, luminous compositions. This is music of incredible patience and focus - tones held, shifted, allowed to breathe. The German master of reduction at his finest.
Kanon / Torsi
Ernstalbrecht Stiebler (b. 1934) is a German composer of minimalist and reductionist contemporary music. His name is still most closely associated with his long-time position as radio editor and producer for New Music at the Hessian Broadcasting Corporation (Hessischer Rundfunk), but his own compositional oeuvre – beginning in 1955 and continuing until now – has in the recent years attracted more attention with various concerts and several releases.Having attended the Darmstadt International Sum…
