Wandelweiser und so weiter' is a 6-CD box set with 8 hours of music by a wide range of composers in or around the Wandelweiser collective. The box brings together previously unissued works by the most well-known composers in the Wandelweiser collective (Michael Pisaro, Antoine Beuger, Radu Malfatti and Manfred Werder), pieces by other Wandelweiser composers (Johnny Chang, Sam Sfirri, Eva-Maria Houben, Stefan Thut, Taylan Susam), as well as music by other composers whose work relates to Wandelweiser in some way, such as James Saunders, Dominic Lash, Anett Németh and John Cage.
A central focus of the collection is the way in which Wandelweiser music has in recent years come together with the 'post-reductionist' strand within improvisation. Many of the pieces on the box set are realisations of Wandelweiser scores by musicians who are better known as improvisers, but who have recently been drawn to the soundworld of Wandelweiser.
All the tracks on the box set are new recordings played by different groupings of over 50 musicians including Angharad Davies, Radu Malfatti, Lee Patterson, Jurg Frey, Philip Thomas, Patrick Farmer, Rhodri Davies, Phil Durrant, Sarah Hughes, Dominic Lash, Anton Lukoszevieze, Tim Parkinson and many more.'CD1, Confluences.
