Frank Gratkowski si allea all'Ensemble Modern per affrontare insieme le perigliose sfide della composizione istantanea. Dal vivo a Francoforte (Germania), un po' guardando a Xenakis e un po' ripensando a Joyce: Mature Hybird Talking (World Edition, 2024).

"Listening to Mature Hybird Talking involves taking a journey in time through sonic landscapes, as if navigating a river whose every twist and turn can bring something new and unexpected, while the river itself, in the form of an uncompromisingly non­idiomatic approach to both precom­posed and improvised musical creation, remains central even as it alter­nates unpredictably between rapids and points of repose." (Richard Barrett)

World Edition is a platform for dialogue within the avantgarde arts. Sounds, poems, realms of images are links within a chain of possibilities of this dialogue. Since 1998 World Edition is a constant work in progress. Artists in exchange with artists. A platform for CDs, books, performances and internet acts. Open for contributions that open up for creative chances within our society.
