Peter Ablinger Against Nature Drescher Ablinger - 0015104KAI - Contemporary - by Kairos

It all started with a rejection. Flutist Erik Drescher applied for a cooperation with composer Peter Ablinger at the end of 2019. Initially, it was supposed to be a kind of continuation of the joint 2014 album Augmented Studies, especially an extension of the multi-track pieces for (then) 16 or 22 flutes. The rejection came in February 2020. Then came Covid-19. They both had nothing to do and decided to start their project – unfinanced, of course. Here we are, almost two years later, and the album appears. Erik Drescher presents a multi-instrument hologram of new flute music, not to be missed by anyone who is curious enough to embark on a journey into the unknown. “Kairos” is the Greek word describing the opportune moment – hardly ever in the label’s history it has been as appropriate as for the release of this album.
