about

The phrase "Grand Hotel Abgrund" originally comes from Georg Lukács, who criticized the members of the Frankfurter Schule (Adorno, Horkheimer, Marcuse, Pollock, Fromm, Neumann) for residing in a beautiful hotel "equipped with all comforts" - on the edge of the abyss, of nothingness, of absurdity, the "Grand Hotel Abyss". They were theorists who primarily criticized fascism, but did not follow Karl Marx's "eleventh thesis on Feuerbach.": "The philosophers have only interpreted the world differently; but what matters is to change it."

Here now appears the first album of the Leipzig improvisation collective L'amicale de Grand Hotel Abgrund - the friends of this comfortable hotel at the abyss. But is music capable of changing the world? In rare cases, perhaps. But certainly a specific musical practice changes our relationship to the world and to each other. This album is the result of an intense collective collaboration searching for a common sound, the sound of the zeitgeist that manifests itself in the moment. Not without reason, many things here sound like apocalypse and end times. The titles of the pieces are reminiscent of a shipwreck, while the orchestra continues to play, acoustically interpreting and underscoring the scenario.
Improvisational practise requires a high sense of awareness and perception of the other fellow musician and to remain focused on whats happening in general. And it requires a certain serene attitude of letting go and trusting in one's own ability to remain aware of what is happening - as a critic must. This album is an indepth experience, that captures the intensity of that moment of its own genesis with an ironic wink of the eye.

"A charming soundtrack, each sound, each atmosphere, each brush is felt like a portrait of the storm like a Turner that is drawing and blurring with each step ... dark tranquility, amnesia, subliminal cosmic vapor." (Bistu Rix)
