Nice the comparison with I See A Darkness, beautiful the whole review, as always by the way. While Will is among my biggest vexations, because he is an artist who seems to have everything to make me his, and yet the spark just doesn’t ignite. Probably too much hurry, but sooner or later I’ll try to make up for it.

Well, of course, I don't think the "courage" is what should be admired, nor do I think the result is "enjoyable," obviously. But the research, the concept, is interesting. Just as I strip away the superstructure from the piano, leaving only the strings, I strip away the superstructure from the sound: no rhythm, no melody, no harmony, just a sound that develops under the lens of a microscope.

:D Rautavaara has made a career for us, with the overdubbed ducks.

Exactly odradek, perfect review in one word: Sound.

I put on the first minute and a half of the album. It's barely audible, it needs to be heard on a good sound system (which I, by the way, don't have :D). Be careful not to get hooked!

Thanks to everyone, but especially to Miss Neumann. @odradek, I read about her in a magazine some time ago and, intrigued, I had a beautiful mini-format record sent to me by the label linked in the box (a bruit secret): the record is called Innenklavier and it's from 2002. @Wanderer, the world is small! Extreme experimentalism... I would say that among everything I've heard, this is perhaps the closest to being (formally) unlistenable. Now I'll put up a sample, with the caveat that it may discourage any ear that isn't connected to a mind capable of perceiving (or at least interested in trying to perceive) the underlying conceptual world. (What big words, huh).
