Musicians: Franz Koglmann fl-h, Tony Coe ts, cl, Ursula Fiedler soprano, James Emery g, Uli Fussenegger b, Peter Herbert b, Klangforum Wien

Franz Koglmann, who likes to cross borders, pursues a dialogue between styles. Using this dialogue, which he consciously allows to include disruptions, Koglmann elegantly and expertly weaves his way along a path that avoids both the classical jazz clichés and the hermetics of e-music. His cool way of bridging worlds is often referred to as the "3rd Vienna School" by critics.

Musicians: John Lindberg b, Gabriel Bolkosky v, Rebecca Ansel v, Wendy Richman viola, Miriam Bolkosky cello
