music

Probably the most striking feature of Stefan Streich's music is its immediacy and intensity in dealing with sound and time. Fragile individual sounds, mixtures of unison and melody particles combine with contoured figures and stylized, music-language pictograms. Prank does not give preference to specific topics or materials. Fields of musical language association and the pure physics of sound and time complement each other.
