Klotzsch & Krey - Through All These Years Of Trying To Belong
I have always found Emil Klotzsch’s manipulations of field recordings mesmerizing but this new online album from the 12rec netlabel caught me totally off guard. Klotzsch is joined by bass clarinetist Ruediger Krey for some exquisite improvisions on the album titled Through All These Years of Trying To Belong. Klotzsch’s beautiful nature samplings goes well with his minimalist keyboard playing while Krey alternately whispers and soars over the soundscape. Some may call this ambient but it is also mindful of chamber classical music and its close cousin chamber jazz. This album dares you to sit quietly to catch all the subtleties of the music. Vocalist Frits Kitzmueller joins the duo on the last track, “I See My Own” for a stunning and surreal ending to this exceptional recording.
The album is available in 256kbps MP3.
