The lute and guitar player Peter Söderberg and composer, musician Erik Peters devote their new CD to four American composers: Alvin Lucier, James Tenney, John Cage and Steve Reich. Already on ALCD004 ( Contemporary Lute, 1991) Söderberg presented lute transcriptions of music by Reich and Cage with a much appreciated result. In this new recording the interpretations take on a dimension of transformation as the compositions are actualized through a virtual electronic environment; the acoustic sound of the string instruments are in different ways in dialogue with and processed by live electronics, creating a lucid contemporization of these influential compositions.
