With “Carbon” by Thomas Döller and Jürgen Schwalk, a fine duo album skilfully and experimentally answers the question “How does coal sound?”
“Carbon”, on the other hand, mainly presents Jürgen Schwalk’s compositions – shaped by the duo’s preference for elegant impressionism and the coal flutes, of which Thomas Döller has now created a small family of instruments – with mouthpieces for the titanium tube woofer as well as for the silver concert flute? After two and a half minutes of the opening composition “Volver” and a meditative guitar prelude, she starts to soar for the first time. Fleetwod greets Mac from afar. (Ralph Wilms)
