about

After our session with him had appeared I told Leo Nilsson how much I like the live album that had been released on Caprice Recordings back in 1980.
Leo promised to search his archive and a couple of months later came this gift !

A meeting between different music cultures coinciding in free-tonal and improvisatorial forms. The result was an entirely new acoustic and electronic world of sound.
The development in the music that Pax Art Ensemble played was driven by a dialogue, one put forward an idea in the form of a rhythmical or other structural theme, which was then commented on, denied, affirmed or provoked by the other ones.
In this way the theme was born and reborn, and the development driven by the stimuli of the moment towards a larger and concerted compositional idea, which at times may seem symphonic in form.
The Pax Art Ensemble favored acoustic instruments whose sounds could be amplified and filtered with electronic music, created in the studio with unwieldy and bulky apparatus. The compositions were built up step by step over a long period and thanx to the development of instruments in the electronic field it was possible to perform/interpret live. At the recording of this concert Pax Art ensemble used the Dataton 3000 with tone generators, envelope generators, filters, frequency modulators and mixer…

The album which first introduced me to ambient, although not the first one I owned... an experience that is both wistful and soothing, never too dark yet not suited to being described as joyful. One of Hainbach's finest works. Dimitriy Dzyuba
