DESCRIPTION Wall of Sound is a music of sonic sensations. It is a physical and sensual approach to the phenomenon of thick sound worlds. Sound waves become physical objects, four-dimensional sonic sculptures to be experienced, bodily and mentally. Ulrich Krieger 's Wall Of Sound is a series of CDs about music that invites the listener to indulge themselves in sound. It doesn't guide an audience through a narrative, like a song, but offers the listener slow changing and developing soundscapes, acoustic sculptures, to immerse themselves in. How listeners move in and through these sounds is up to them: meditative drifting along, focusing on certain small details of sounds, letting themselves be taken away by emerging psycho-acoustic phenomena or going back and forth between listening attitudes. Wall Of Sound features compositions by: James Tenney , John Cage , Alvin Lucier , Phill Niblock , Philip Glass , Steve Reich , Terry Riley , Lee Ranaldo , Boris Hegenbart , Zbigniew Karkowski , Ulrich Krieger, John Duncan . 3CD set comes in a digipack; includes 16- page booklet.
