Ins Nichts mit ihm
Music against Despots for
Mixturtrautonium and Voice
Erscheint bei NEOS, München
The Munich-based artist Peter Pichler is the only musician who has mastered and recorded the classical works for Mixturtrautonium. Some of these works have never before been published on recordings. The Mixturtrautonium is considered the predecessor of the synthesizer and has significantly influenced the development of electronic music.
The CD will be released on 11 April 2025. From 25 April 2025, the production will also be available digitally on all common streaming and download platforms.
To celebrate the release, a release concert will take place on 25 April 2025 at 9 pm in the Werkraum of the Münchner Kammerspiele.
Since ancient times, we have been singing about suffering and pain, which we conquer in our songs over and over again, but death remains omnipresent. Human values must be defended and advocated in the face of violence and the pure power of the strongest.
In the context of the global political situation, Peter Pichler's album follows the desire to express the transience of earthly existence, individual powerlessness in the face of violence and exploitation and the successful revolt of many against oppression and lack of freedom.
In the dialogue between man and machine - Voice and Mixturtrautonium - emotional borderline experiences are shared, despots are condemned, awareness of the beauties of this world and the hope associated with them are stirred up.
With the help of the extraordinary possibilities of the Mixturtrautonium, many composers have succeeded in capturing the unspeakable, the incomprehensible, the incomprehensible in sound and making it audible and tangible.
The Mixturtrautonium, which sounds are not orientated towards the well-tempered tuning and Western chord structure of the last 500 years, stands for foreign worlds, unknown elements of creation, freedom and self-determination. In the selected works, the human voice tells stories of warfare, loss, grief and rebellion.
