An album released in 1986 by Austrian composer Herbert Grassl, who served as the artistic director of the Salzburg International Paul Hofhaymer Association until 2017. This album features compositions inspired by the poem "Ein Szenisches Gedicht" by Austrian poet Georg Grodek, active since the 1950s. It is a lengthy avant-garde chamber music piece that unfolds with drones from cello, bass clarinet, and double bass, along with minimal melodies from keyboard percussion instruments, creating a dynamic interplay of tension and release. Acoustically fascinating, the album presents acoustic instruments' subtle sounds in a reverberant stereo space, expanding the sonic landscape.
