Reinhold Friedl's brainchild Zeitkratzer was a
Berlin-based project to revisit contemporary composers by having
a chamber orchestra perform their works, starting with
SoundinX (2000). For example,
Super-Superbonus (2002) performed music by Terre Thaemlitz.
They even redid
Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music for a string orchestra (2007).
And then Alvin Lucier, John Cage, James Tenney, Karlheinz Stockhausen, etc.
Grand Orchestra (2013) for orchestra and bagpipes
was finally a Reinhold Friedl composition.
Reinhold Friedl also recorded the solo piano album Inside Piano (2011)
in which he experiments with all sorts of unorthodox techniques.
The project actually debuted with Xtensions (2000) that contains
Tromper (14:02),
Sprachlos (18:26),
Rote Erde (12:07),
After Durations II (10:03).
Zeitkratzer recorded instrumental interpretations of music by
Alvin Lucier (2010),
John Cage (2010),
Whitehouse (2010 and also live in 2014),
Karlheinz Stockhausen (2011),
Kraftwerk (2017),
Kasper Toeplitz (2018),
etc.
