Koch-Schütz-Studers new release TALES FROM 30 UNINTENTIONAL NIGHTS is a collection of live recordings made during the 30 days performance in Zurich last year.
«Thirty days, two sets every evening, always at the same time, always in the same place. In the laboratory atmosphere, black with age, of the Alte Schlosserei 12 [Old Locksmith's Shop] on Pfingstweidstrasse in Zurich, three researchers, tinkerers, lab techs of sounds, Koch-Schütz-Studer, are at work in the middle of a jungle that generates patterns of light. They play with their ingredients, experimenting and letting me get close enough to partake in how they cast spells and invent music, connecting yesterday through today with tomorrow, the very reason each concert is the best, each evening, each set different, coming out of nothing.
…The laboratory in the Schlosserei expands, a radiating cathedral of sound, a freighter that cannot be localized by any radar as it vibrates and rolls through a churned-up sea, all sails set for a journey into the unknown.»

All of Laswell's Material work is rewarding and stands the test of time...designed to embrace immortality;
I loathe the term 'World Music'...this is music of several worlds (and alternative dimensions)... John Cratchley

Despite being released in 1988, this album still sounds as innovative and inspirational as ever. Plus Bill added two 18+ min epic ambient excursions to this digital release in the form of Lost Roads Orchestral Site and Kingdom Come Ambient Site. This release should be a cornerstone of your Bill Laswell collection. Lance C McGannon
