Artist: RLW Title: Views Format: CD Label: Anomalous Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "In the 25th year of Ralf Wehowskys recording career, Anomalous Records presents his first truly solo release featuring four new compositions based on instrumental improvisations. Using simple devices (tone-generators, percussion toys, music boxes, an electric toothbrush and an electric guitar) played in unusual ways, he builds up layers of each sound to create a suite of textural pieces. Each of the four tracks takes on an identity unique from the others, as the first three each focus on one of the sound sources while the last combines elements from the previous three to make something else. The disc opens with a 20-minute piece of mysterious and drifting electronic tones. Other tracks highlight very tactile sounds and bring a much more live element to his work, while retaining his skillful use of dynamics and placement of silence which have gained him so many fans. Previous releases by RLW have seen him collaborate with such diverse artists as Achim Wollscheid, Bernhard Günter, Andrew Chalk, David Grubbs, Jim ORourke, Kevin Drumm, and Bruce Russell. He is the founder of the now defunct group P16.D4 and the still active label Selektion." - Anomalous. |

Artist: RLW Title: Fall Seliger Geister Format: CD Label: Dirter Promotions Country: UK Price: $18.00 |
| "Dirter Promotions presents a stunning new album by Ralf Wehowsky. He is currently one of the most respected electronic composers of our day. Ghostly creaking sounds mix with highly complex electro-acoustic and electronic sounds. This description may sound familiar, but no sound is what it seems and RLW always manages to stay far ahead of his contemporaries. His music is impossible to pigeonhole into one simple bracket. It is neither industrial nor musique concrète, nor computer music nor improvisation. Limited to 500 copies, the CD comes packaged in a Japanese mini LP-style sleeve with textured reverse board printing and black inner sleeve." - Dirter Promotions. |

"The I.K.K.-project is the new project of Ralf Wehowsky (RLW), the influential German electronic music composer who started his recording career in 1980. And following his inclination for collaboration it counts with contributions from Dan Warburton, Andrew Deutsch, Chris Halliwell, Strotter Inst., Stephen Vitiello, and Frisch/Rainey/Wehowsky. I.K.K. Purpur started in 1794, when Christoph Schmid wrote the lyrics for Ihr Kinderlein Kommet, using a melody by contemporary composer Johann Abraham Peter Schulz. It was performed soon after in Thanhausen an der Mindel for the first time. In 2001, a few weeks before Xmas, RLW recorded his daughter Sonja (aged 5 then) singing some of her favourite Xmas tunes." -SIRR.
