Live recording of “Feld(man) Forschung” – realized by the 2010 Wien Modern festival in homage to the great American composer. Patrick Pulsinger, located at the interface of contemporary electronic art and established improvisational music, and his co-musicians Pamelia Kurstin, Hilary Jeffery and Rozemarie Heggen delivered a perfect and unique “one take”, a performance recorded live at the Casino Baumgarten in Vienna. Equipped with a trombone, a double bass, a theremin and a modular synthesizer the quartet drew on Feldman’s ideas and approaches for inspiration, creating their own acoustic space out of the properties of their instruments, the location and a rudimentary graphic score.

After his highly acclaimed adventure into jazz with „Easy to Assemble – Hard to Take Apart“ and the classic „ Dogmatic Sequences Series“ comes an album that extends the unique combination of electronics and recorded instruments even further: synthesizers and hand played drumboxes, not sequenced by the computer, carefully fitted  into the musical performances. All the beautiful irregularities of the human groove with its switches and bleeps of the analogue bubble bath melt into a sound scape that reflects both the history of dance music and today’s production techniques.

All eight tracks on the album show great diversity in style and musical approach. The analogue recording and mixing process and the wide dynamic range give the material a continuity that makes Impassive Skies such an intense and visionary listening experience, fostered by the original release in double vinyl format.
