Ulrich Krieger

'Wall Of Sound' is a series of CDs about music that invites the listener to indulge themselves in sound. It doesn't guide an audience through a narrative-like a song-, but offers the listener slow changing and developing soundscapes, acoustic sculptures, to immerse themselves in. How listeners move in and through these sounds is up to them: meditative drifting along, focusing on certain small details of sounds, letting themselves be taken away by emerging psycho-acoustic phenomena or going back and forth between listening attitudes. On this 3CD set, Ulrich Krieger plays pieces from composers Alvin Lucier, Phil Niblock, John Cage, John Duncan, James Tenney, Terry Riley, Lee Ranaldo, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Boris Hegenbart and Zbigniew Karkowski. He is well known as a saxophone player in contemporary composed and free improvised music as well as a composer of chamber music and electronic music.
