Aufzug by Conrad Schnitzler

Flip-Flap is pleased to announce that the series of works chosen by Conrad Schnitzler for publication with us is now continued with the help of the Dutch-based distributor Fonodroom. This selection of works was originally made by Conrad Schnitzler himself in 2008 for a 100 CD boxset edition planned to be released by the now defunct Waystyx label. As heirs to Waystyx, Flip-Flap offers Conrad's fans an opportunity to further immerse themselves in his universe of electronic music. Any universe is infinite and these 100 works are only guides to its central points, allowing you to simultaneously orient yourself and feel lost in its limitlessness. And it was Conrad himself who placed these points where refractions occur and where they have maximum glow. This selection of works creates a vast sound mass suspended in a timeless stasis.

Conrad’s music, being as close as possible to improvisation, often raises the question of what is more important here: regulation and control or random positioning of electroacoustic signals. These 100 hours of electronic symphonies, written between 1990 and 2009, represent a long journey through soundscapes where the listener meets something new while also reflecting on the past.
