Maerzmusik sampler
various, Maerzmusik sampler
LP, Festival organisers
This is available ffrom the organisers if you
ask nicely. MaerzMusik is a festival of
"aktuelle musik" held in March in Berlin.
There tend not to be too many people sitting on
the fence for this sort of music and in some parts
of the world there are hardly any people to sit in
chairs for it either. Luckily, for Berlin's
cultural richness, there are enough here to keep
a festival going, and in good health as well. It
is not my sort of thing I have to say. This sort
of modernism in music seems sorely dated to me and
has more than a few echoes of musty classrooms. Is
that bad - what of classicism? Yes, well, quite! -
except maybe this is not what it says it is.
In any case, the music here by such as Gagem,
Steamboat Switzerland, and Wiesenberg is nicely
realised and there's enough variety to make it
engaging.
