[maxmsp] [OT] SNDT®X released on last.fm

Dear Maxers!

I just want to inform you that my third album with electronic music which was solely produced with Max/MSP has been released on last.fm where it can be downloaded for free.

Press information

Six years after his last CD ©RUDE, Karlheinz Essl has released a new album with electronic music, entitled SNDT®X. As the name already suggests, the music on this release is related to other arts, serving as a comment or a sonic subtext to paintings, movies and performances of artists from other fields. Furthermore, some pieces are dealing with music of from various origins, namely psychedelic rock music (a tribute to CAN), advanced classical music (remixing Mozart's Dissonanzenquartett), chants from various religious contexts, or the ringing of a church bell.

Besides exploring the possibilities of free improvisation in his live performances, Karlheinz Essl uses his idiosyncratic electronic instrument m at ze°2 (written in Max/MSP) for his compositional work as well. All tracks on this release have been modeled with his algorithmic sound environment and were performed by himself at various occassions through the last years.

SNDT®X is comprised of 11 tracks with a total length of more than 2 hours and was released on 28 May 2007 as mp3. You can listen to the album or download it for free.
