Gebhard Ullmann: Schattenspiele – Lux:nm

“In the work of composer-improviser Gebhard Ullmann, there are no codes. Notes aren’t metaphors, creative decisions do not follow intellectual rationales. Instead, breath, colour and melodic contours are at the core of his music. The pieces on Schattenspiele are the result of contemplation, years of writing and re-arranging, of reflecting and recording, of improvising and composing and interpreting. Written for and around his natural home of wind instruments, each creates unique sonic constellations, playfully captivating rhythms and moments of intimate stillness.“
