composer: Christian Wolff interpreter: Matthias Kaul - Malcolm Goldstein booklet writer: Peter Niklas Wilson - Christoph Wagner Malcolm Goldstein: violin, voice / Matthias Kaul: percussion, voice, hurdy-gurdy “This music is drawn from the interaction of the people playing it.” (Christian Wolff) “With the present recording, it is impossible to imagine it could be anyone but Malcolm Goldstein and Matthias Kaul playing, with their very personal vocabularies.” (Peter Niklas Wilson) This production received the quarterly German Record Critics' Award. At their first face-to-face encounter, at a milk bar in Frankfurt’s main train station, Goldstein and Kaul decided to play several concerts as a duo. Since then they have given many concerts in Germany and abroad. The focus of their collaboration is on improvisation or compositions that give the performers a great deal of free play.
