German Critics Award for DLW “Extended Beats”

Overly excited that DLW received the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik for bastille musique’s twenty-eighth release »DLW: Extended Beats«. It is amazing to receive the award right one year after my solo-recording “Monodosis III” on enwrecords was awarded in the same category. Thanks so much to everybody who made »DLW: Extended Beats« possible!

In his laudatio the renowned music critic Heinz Zietsch states: “The avant-garde is dead, long live the new avant-garde! Only repeated listening expands the horizon of experience of the ‘Extended Beats’, which literally induce sustain(ability).” The publication features world premiere recordings by @delllillingerwestergaard , @tamarastefanovich (piano), @klangforum_wien , @sonar_quartett , @adamekclarinet(clarinets) and @johannesbrechtmusic (electronics).
