Excerpt from the Booklet:
Music which does not deny its existential significance. Music which has left all conventions behind it and - at least up till now - has not yet created any new ones. Music of bold, continually outrageous sounds. Music which arises out of the free self-development of the participating musicians. Music which has left all those limitations behind it that seem to be imposed on it by the market, music history, and the listening habits of the public. Music which demonstrates that honesty - towards oneself and others - needs to be felt as compelling radical. Only then is it fully uncompromising, while no one could otherwise play such music which sounds like this: of provocative seriousness, sometimes on the border of being mute. (…) Radical music thus in its search for freedom. Radical music in its treatment of instruments, which are no longer merely serviced, but are rather vessels of expression. (…) Three then who truly command their instruments. So command as we all command our tongues from the beginning.
