By Blu, Briggs, Bugallo, Ona, Thurmchen Ensemble, Walter, Williams, and van der Poel. By Erik Ona. Listening CD. Wergo #WER 65632. Published by Wergo (NX.WER-65632).

The dialectical relationship between near and distant plays a main role in Erik Ona's compositions - not only in his work for ensemble, "Alles Nahe werde fern" [Everything near becomes distant], whose title refers to words by the Argentinean writer Jorge Luis Borges.

Using western musical instruments, Ona creates a strange and alien atmosphere that points to a quite different source of inspiration. His work lives from the dichotomy between (emotional) freedom and (structural) restraint, between a high potential for sensual timbres and their rigorous structural underpinnings. It is a productive field of tension that Ona has explored to its imaginary limits.
