Alfons Karl Zwicker is not a traditional avant-gardist who is absolutely devoted to parameters, noises and wiring. His method of composing is based on the sphere, the continuous new search for an integral lucidity of expression. He works with creative formation of associative sound spaces, which communicate powerful, moving moods and are often in an attractive contrast to one another. On this record Alain Pasquier and the Nouvel Ensemble Contemporain present his works Mirlitonnades and Erinnerungen im Ohr, which was especially composed for Pasquier. The Nouvel Ensemble Contemporain or NEC was created in 1994 in La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland. It is currently composed of 20 permanent professional musicians from all over Switzerland, all curious, idealistic, and enthusiastic and showered with all manner of accolades and awards. It wishes to allow the multiple facets of 20th and 21st century music to be heard, encourage the blossoming of new talents by regularly ordering new creations and build bridges between different methods of expression.
