Gerald Resch, born in 1975 in Austria, developed his economical approach to composition during his studies with Beat Furrer in Graz. Expanding upon this, Resch commented, Encounters, junctures, and abstract patterns are all able to inspire the beginning of a composition. I like superimpositions, unforeseen changes of perspective, and hidden symmetry. I also like to invent logical but surprising developments of simple material. This release demonstrates his preoccupation with plastic forms in Cantus Firmus, with the perception of nature in Ein Garten, and with the omnipresence of a burdensome, loaded tradition.
