Ens für Neue Musik Zurich

 

Dieter Ammann says about himself that he works extremely slowly; sometimes he just manages to finish one bar a day, sometimes he isn't moving ahead at all because he has scruples about putting down the next note... This slow creative process not only seems to be inconsistent with the lively and highly gestural music language and it also seems to be inconsistent with the background of this composer, who as an active musician grew up with jazz and rock and above all improvised music as well. First recordings.
