Janek Schaefer: Alone at last in public
TobiasStylistically, „Alone at last“ places great emphasis on organic movement and on detail. Both „Vasulka Vauban's 'A day in the Good Life'“ and „Boulevard Peripherique“ have many different layers of sound on offer and allow the listener to observe each sonic object in its full cycle of attack and decay. The aforementioned title piece, meanwhile, combines sounds of nature with blissfully chiming drones to create a charming musical still life, constantly in motion yet always changing.
Currently working as an artist/sound designer/musician/visiting lecturer and composer from the audiOh! Room in London Janek Schaefer has been one of the few contemporary composers to be embraced both by the sound art scene and the new music crowd (his first album was album of the week in the Guardian). His name can also be found in the Guinness Book of Records, thanks to the 'Tri-phonic Turntable' being listed as the 'World's Most Versatile Record Player'.
