It began with a field recording of Baltic Sea's surf sound. What I found was quite interesting ...

Many, many thanks to David Loewus for his congenial performance, to Hubertus Dreyer (http://soundcloud.com/hdathome & http://soundcloud.com/compositionstudy) for encouragement and multiple advice and last but not least to my teacher http://soundcloud.com/martin-aike-almstedt.

Rudolf Schmitt - Strandgut / Flotsam And Jetsam / Épaves - Clarinet Trio performed by David Loewus

This piece for eight hands on one piano was inspired by the idea of a strange and wonderful
machine, discovered by chance in an old abandoned workshop. It is not clear what the machine
is for, but what is obvious, is that it is still functioning after many years.

....shaking off a shiver, he reached out towards the dust sheet and gently pulled one corner.
The cover slipped away revealing the most amazing artefact. Brass tubes seemed to feed in
and out, glittering with a mischievous sparkle as the moonlight danced across the room.
Glass vials held multi-coloured liquids, blues, greens, reds and yellows. The main body of the
machine seemed to be made up of junk found from some Parisian side street.
A bicycle wheel had been placed precariously on top of a funnel from an old steam locomotive.
A dustbin lid was tied to one of the brass tubes and wires surrounded the machine in pools
of varying colours. Small hisses accompanied puffs of steam giving the impression that
this marvellous machine was alive....
