half cloud, half plain
limited to 250 copies

michael vorfeld - percussion, stringed instruments
chris heenan - contrabass clarinet

first ever release by the duo of german multi-percussionist michael vorfeld and american contrabass clarinet player chris heenan. slowly evolving acoustic soundscapes with unique attention to detail and texture and an absolute control of pacing and dynamics. the music of both musicians seems to pair in perfection creating a non-centered soundworld where the listener can immerse, but only to be shaken by surprising turns and decisions.

vorfeld and heenan will be presenting this disc in a us tour starting early november and will visit new york, los angeles, baltimore, philadelphia among other cities.

wonderfully recorded in studio in berlin, this edition comes in a gatefold cardboard case with original hand-screened artwork

formed 09: vorwolf - snake's eyes

michael vorfeld and christian wolfarth are both engaged in a wide range of contemporary music projects; as a duo they display the sort of relaxed precision that marks great improvised music. both performers have naturalized their techniques as percussionists to the point where they handily toss the fruit of their extended techniques towards, near, and in the absolute opposite direction of each other while maintaining a coherent logic throughout.

reinhold friedl / michael vorfeld “pech” compact disc

  • pech (20:58)
  • keks (13:20)
  • torf (16:40)
room40 press release...
pech is the latest duo recording from inside pianist reinhold friedl and avant- percussionist michael vorfeld. over the past five years, this pair of german musicians have created some of the most engaging and imaginative electro-acoustic music, exploring the potentials of subtle performance techniques and refined compositional approaches.

on pech, the duo seek to uncover the hidden and masked character of their instruments - the piano is altered via various preparations and unconventional ways of bringing the strings to vibration, whilst the percussion and other various stringed instruments transgress beyond the rhythmic into a humming textural mass. the result of these two musical workstations meeting is simply breathtaking and reveals a range of provocative and commanding qualities from these traditional instrumental set-ups.
