Information

In addition to his work as a composer and installation artist, Bernhard Gal also performs live, using a laptop computer along with additional electronic devices. Gal's solo concerts are comprised of elements from recent music and art projects as well as new field recordings, which he takes apart and reassembles in a quasi-improvised, live context. In many cases, the performances also reflect the respective concert venue, with its distinctive acoustic and sociocultural characteristics. Since 2002, Gal has performed over 150 concerts on four continents. This is his first live-cd, featuring excerpts from concerts recorded between autumn 2007 and summer 2008. No sounds were added or edited afterwards, so that the live character of the original recordings would be maintained.
