Surface Games by Markus W. Schneider
These six pieces are based on compositions from the series „Surface Games“.
Simple graphic scores deal with the structure or the musical surface.
There are no fixed rules. The scores serve as a basis for interpretation beforehand which is an essential part of the process.
There are no timelines. The temporal structure emerges by itself as the musicians follow their own musical intuition as well as the impetus of the scores.
The pieces were recorded live in front of a small audience at Amann Studios, Vienna on October 14, 2021.
