The idea of creating music using samples of existent writing may seem alien, and Bang's approach is distanced from usual concepts of form, constructing music from classical composers Richard Wagner (the dark-hued, foreboding "Heidigger's Silence") and Robert Schumann (the hauntingly beautiful "Abdication and Coronation," featuring trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær), and more contemporary sources including improvising trio Muta (the oblique, atmospheric opener, "The Drug Mule") and Germany's Kammerflimmer Kollektief (the groove-centric "Passport Control). But Bang's acute intuition and recollection—based on years of live performance, and access to music through an ever-widening network of musicians who want to participate in his groundbreaking work—give him a unique ability hear interrelationships across the distances of time and space.
