The Last We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other
*150 copies limited edition* "[...]Ansgar Wilken uses an arsenal of sounds that is as simple as it is far-reaching, including objects and utensils whose inherent sounds sometimes sound almost computer-generated.

Wilken's clapping opens up musical worlds in which, instead of virtuosi…
