The violinist GERD BESSLER is playing absurd and farcical games with our listening habits, taking stylistic jester´s liberties and a shameless reversion to historic clichés. Electronic instrumental music is being freed from its bonds. This is where a musician has simply nothing but fun with the music medium.
In the process he combines conventional performance patterns of the violin with the fascinating possibilities of electronic intelligence. You may find Gerd Bessler as a musical director at theatres whereever in the world with - for instance - Tom Waits and Robert Wilson´s Theatre production "The Black Rider" and many others.
Press reviews:
"I foresee a large cross-section of people interested in this album: electronic music fans for its innovative and interesting keyboard use, jazz-rock fans because it borders on Fusion, and audiophiles for its demo-quality sonics" - Glenn Hammet, Sounds Like 1/88
