About

Bernhard Lang's album Voice and Ensemble offers a sonic journey through three distinct compositions.

In Das Hirn he juxtaposes a solo voice with a chamber ensemble, capturing the end-time force of Dürrenmatt's text through intense recitation and dynamic structures.

The Travel Agency is on Fire explores William S. Burroughs's cut-up experiments, referencing his innovative techniques in an electroacoustic piece enriched with synthesisers, samplers, and a processed electric guitar.

In DW 16.4 'Songbook I.4', Lang transforms pop songs into a shattered past using the cut-up/scrambler program Abulafia. Lyrics undergo fragmented reconstruction, accompanied by damaged beats and scratch loops, creating a distinctive sonic landscape.
