Stockhausen/ Bouman/ Ottaviucci/ Nauseef - Spaces & Spheres: Intuitive Music

In February 2008, five musician friends met at Elmau Castle in the Bavarian Alps: Markus Stockhausen, Tara Bouman, Stefano Scodanibbio, Fabrizio Ottaviucci and Mark Nauseef. Their intent was to make a recording of Intuitive Music: A music that is fleeting - since it is only intended for the moment - but nevertheless deserves documentation. For four days, they played together, without music or prior discussion. The rules of this intuitive ensemble-playing had to do with discovering, listening intensely, responding, contrasting, and constructing - but with everything in real time.
