no capital letters and a dot at the end. is the presentation method composer Klaus Lang applies to all his composition titles. This track is an improvised interlude taken from a concert we played together at the Paulus Kirche in Basel as part of the Interfinity 2024 festival. Often placed between Lang's pieces: "chanson lointaine et douce." and "bright stars.", this improv captures well the type of sonic mixture we are after as we play our very different instruments - myself on the electric guitar and Klaus on the church organ.
