Lauermann - Lukas Lauermann: I N

This is the cellist and composer Lukas Lauermann�s second solo recording. The artist is much in demand, especially wherever contemporary and experimental music are the order of the day� but the kind that doesn�t send the average listener running for cover. This work, titled �I N�, illustrates a very particular state: Someone does some soul-searching by looking INward � and in the same instance is receiving external INput. As the music navigates the 12 semitones of the traditional scale, accompanying sounds beyond the central cello rear their heads: tuning forks, synthesizer, and piano. But it doesn�t stop here: Lauermann takes binary codes and translates them into rhythm. He sees his own musical ideas as seeds that germinate, combine, become an organism, rewire� and which can be approached from any end or at any intermediate point. He looks for perfection in the microscopic. And best of all: Even if you know all of that� you won�t be able to hear it! You can simply let yourself sink INto it!
