Zws vs. Xu(e) - 2xCD

From January to April 2007 Zero Wait State and Xu(e) worked in close collaboration, recording some long improvisations at ZWStudio dedicated to Paul Klee's life and works. The most important reference to the swiss artist is the polyrhythmic theory, both on a musical level and on a visual level. Everything was created and performed according to this theory and it was put into action by using rhythmic overlappings, phase displacements, echoes, stratified sounds and voices.

To emphasize only the beautiful seems to me to be like a mathematical system that only concerns itself with positive numbers. (Paul Klee - Diary entry, March 1906)
