Album Description

...a tone wanders with ostinato footsteps through a seemingly endless landscape...almost imperceptibly, a companion joins it, begins to frolic with it; together they begin to draw sounds, melodies, rhythms out of the ether and under their spell... Thus could begin one of the many stories told by drummer and composer Reinhold Schmoelzer on his debut album. Many of his passages are through-composed; the improvised sections also follow a "road map". Even the pseudo-chaos produced by multilayered improvisations returns to more settled paths sooner or later. Each composition has an internal dramaturgy which, after taking the listener on an emotional voyage to the far reaches of the composer's imagination, returns to its starting point - with hopes of having made lasting impressions on the way. Thus, the 19-piece ensemble also assumes the role of storyteller, lending it its unusual name: orchestra + raconteur = orchest•ra•conteur.
