Alfons Karl Zwicker is not a traditional avant-gardist who is absolutely devoted to parameters, noises and wiring. His method of composing is based on the sphere, the continuous new search for an integral lucidity of expression. He works with creative formation of associative sound spaces, which communicate powerful, moving moods and are often in an attractive contrast to one another. On this record Alain Pasquier and the Nouvel Ensemble Contemporain present his works Mirlitonnades and Erinnerungen im Ohr, which was especially composed for Pasquier.
