Extract: A panopticum of the minimal scene

Moser and Friedl are certainly the right duo to act as curators to “Extract”. “Nonvisual Objects”, which took up operations in 2005 as a homebase for their own projects, has developed into a melting pot for “interpretations of minimalism in sound”. Subsequently, a sort of community has formed around them, which the book sets out to explore in more depth. While personal tastes and a proxmity to the record company’s aesthetics will surely have played a role in the selection process, it was an important goal to display the scene in all of its diversity: “We would like to present artists that work in different areas in this field of electroacoustic music, to cover a large spectrum even in this quite specific area.“
