Album DescriptionThis is a collaborative release by Cologne experimentechnician Marcus Schmickler (aka Pluramon) and New Zealand-based saxophonist Hayden Chisholm. Schmickler is internationally well known in heterogeneous contexts of contemporary music. He is closely associated with the a-Musik label and over the last years he has worked in different fields of electronic, instrumental, improvised, experimental and new music. His latest releases feature choir and chamber music pieces, a new computer music composition, as well as a new release under the banner of Pluramon with Julee Cruise. His continuous collaborations feature settings with analog synth wiz Thomas Lehn and British pianist John Tilbury. Amazing Daze tracks the intersections where Chisholm's striking sax punctuations and Schmickler's slabs of electroacoustic wall-building meet.
