TELE.S.THERION In large ensemble with: Lunurumh | Michel Doneda | Le Quan Ninh | Jason Van Gulick | Kasper T. Toeplitz | Antoine Chessex | Paolo Sanna. This concept album is based on “Luzifer Abschied“, the fourth scene of «Samstag aus Licht», from the opera «Licht: die sieben Tage der Woche», composed by Karlheinz Stockhausen. These five compositions, are a specific result of an acousmatic audio-mixing process, where each author involved, has recorded a solo session of free improvisation, using as score only the enharmonic electric bass sessions, previously recorded, unknowing what each other author has recorded before. Additional Mix and Mastering by Paolo Ambrogio Siconolfi. Produced by Marco Melzi. Format: CD Label: Minotauro Records Year: 2017 --------------- “Luzifers Abschied is the second-composed entry of his seven part, 29-hour opera cycle “Licht”; an opera divided into the 7 days of the week (one opera for each day). This opera cycle revolves around 3 archetype characters, Michael, Eve and Lucifer, and over the 29 hours each of these characters are introduced, come into conflict, face temptation and finally come into union“. – Ed Chang – “Saturday is the day of Lucifer, the day of death, the day of the dance of death, and of the transition to the Light.” [. ..] “Lucifer is concerned with reason, with complexity, with Magic, with time (and therefore rhythm), with humor, and above all with death“. – Karlheinz Stockhausen
