On occasion of the release of the new Klangwart album "Sommer" (staubgold 99) Staubgold presents a re-issue of the legendary second Klangwart album "Zwei" ("Two"), originally released on the group's own Klangstelle label in 1999. For the first time available as a digital download. "Both 'Zweitoneins' and 'Zweitonzwei' are powerful drone pieces. In the first, a single tone bends and wavers like an airfoil caught in a relentless monochord cross-current. A grand ascent into the airstream caps 17 minutes of adamantly grounded variations in aerodynamic drag and lift. Imagine Tony Conrad bowing one viola note so aggressively as to achieve lift-off. The shimmering flux of 'Zweitonzwei' is far less assertive – an aurora of diaphanous haze that gathers, hovers, and dissipates within the undefiled acoustic space shared by Jliat, Organum, and Harry Bertoia."
