Edition RZ presents a 2CD collection of work from German electronic and multimedia
composer Josef Anton Riedl. Spanning the diverse breadth of his musical output from
1951-2007, Riedl has left an indelible mark on music history in the Federal Republic
of Germany with his many works and cultural activities. A pioneer in early concrète
and electronics, Riedl joined Pierre Shaeffer's Groupe de Recherches Musicales
from 1953-1955. He worked at various music studios including the NWDR (Northwest
German Broadcasting) studio in Cologne, and was the artistic director of the Siemens
Studio For Electronic Music from 1959-1966. During the same period he founded the
Neue Musik München/Klang-Aktionen concert series, and established the
Musik/Film/Dia/Licht-Galerie, which has presented multimedia compositions
("sound/light/scent-games"), audiovisual environments, events, exhibitions ("Paper
Music I," "Optische," "Akustische Lautgedichte") and installations at important
national and international festivals. This collection samples some of Riedl's most
compelling work, including his "Paper Music" and musique concrète experiments.
