STUDIO DAN - WALKING THROUGH A BRAVE NEW WORLD - 8 IMPROVISATIONS

  • Studio Dan: Walking Through A Brave New World - 8 Improvisations
        (2025, cd, Austria, records & stuff)
Axel Seidelmann's Walking through a Brave New World explores themes of surveillance, global conflicts, and autocracy through a blend of musical styles, sounds, language, and improvisation. The Studio Dan ensemble, led by Xizi Wang, brings this dystopian-inspired music to life. The CD, featuring liner notes by Konrad Paul Liessmann, is available at Records & Other Stuff and on Bandcamp.

One of the pieces is entitled 'Plastic People' on which Konrad Paul Liessmann elaborates in the liner notes:
Echoes of Frank Zappa's 'Plastic People' resound, reminding us that the rendering of people as characterless, high-gloss images - a bogeyman of the the late 1960s - has finally, in our time and by means of digital manipulation, reached its radical consummation.
