TASTEN by QLUSTER

The artists: Hans-Joachim Roedelius (Piano), Onnen Bock (Piano), Armin Metz (Piano) The music: minimalist, spherical sounds by three grand pianos "Tasten" can conceivably be described as the successor to the 2012 album "Antworten", on which grand pianos played a similarly significant role.Whilst "Antworten" featured singing bowls, "Tasten" is exclusively a piano work, one which sees the instrument used at times in unconventional, percussive ways, its strings plucked or stroked. Qluster explore the musical depths of three Steinway concert grands to their fullest potential. Spherical sounds of three overlapping instruments, complete with gentle tones and little melodies, sporadically culminating in impulsive sonic storms. A wonderful piece of neo-classical music by three masters of their art.
