composition as explanation
01. there is singularly nothing
02. those who are creating
03. of course it is beautiful
04. beginning again and again
05. it is understood by this time
06. and now to begin as if to begin
07. and after that what changes
08. intertext
09. the problem from this time on
10. this then
11. the time in the composition
the wonderfully compelling musical journey that Lang has created is uniquely his own, as it takes the listener through moments of chiming, crystalline beauty, stomping free-for-alls, vertiginous instrumental solos and insistent minimalist repetitions. You never know what’s going to turn up next.
