These two composers combine their respective styles very well, thus achieving that their music possesses an unusual personality, very imaginative, capable of attracting the attention of the listener at once. The general style of this work can be placed between Space and instrumental symphonism.
Some passages are cold, mysterious. Others turn out to be warm, emotional. There are slow themes and other lively ones. The rhythms are sequencer-based mostly. The melodies are very emotional, with romantic and also solemn traits, yet without falling into an excessive sweetness.
This is a recording of a concert Jiannis Zedamanis and Lambert Ringlage gave in August 1988 at the "Alte Feuerwehrhaus" (in English: old firestation) in German Kreuztal. It was interested to hear how the distinctive styles of the two blended. Jiannis used to play music in the true "Berliner Schule"-way, Lambert does that also but adds a lot of melody and rhythm to it.
The recording is done directly from the mixing console. After a strange sound, like a duck, the cd starts with the track "White Light" which sets the standard for the rest of the cd. This means quite melodical vintage electronic music which never gets to complicated. It is known Lambert is a master of the sequencer and that can be heard well on a piece like "SUN".
"Piano" shows the direction Jiannis would go after his days in electronic music. A fine retrospective cd.
