This is fricking awesome. Just blend the unique Switzerland-based temporary music of Sonar, Akku Quintet, Blaer, Stephan Thelen's current works, with Karl Jenkins' Soft Machine and some minimalistic approach in King Crimson. Frank Hadlich
The seventh full-length from De Beren Gieren walks the line between spooky library music and free improv, shapeshifting constantly. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 12, 2024
On the first track, the Kronos Quartet plays a composition Stephan Thelen wrote for it. Kronos is and for a long time has been my favorite for contemporary art music. It is very selective about what it chooses to perform, and everything it chooses to perform is well worth listening to. The other three tracks are also superb Thelen compositions, here performed superbly by the Al Pari Quartet. John Simms
