Moon Is The Oldest Tv Luzius Schuler

The art, the churches, the museums, they all have that scent of a bygone time. I took long walks through Paris and visited museums and galleries, to experience that spirit. That's also where I picked up the phrase "moon is the oldest tv", at an installation by Nam June Paik." describes Luzius Schuler the process to the creative content of this album. Most of these songs were composed at night on a beat up up-right, hence the delicate playing full of overtones and unintended percussive noises. The instrument's mechanism was miked closely, fully exposed. Once the piano parts were down, the synthetic layers were applied, like an extra layer of paint or varnish. The intention was to create something of an acoustic-synthetic blend.
