Altered Zones

Miles Whittaker of Demdike Stare says:
This could be construed as an obvious choice to those who already dig deep in music, but Wolfgang Dauner seems to be the place where many threads of music cross over. For us, there is nothing quite like his music. Dauner's unique style mixes left-field jazz, rock, electronic instruments, studio effects, hints of Eastern melodies, and more abstract influences while transcending all of these genres. His Output LP, released by ECM in 1970, features the amazing trio of Dauner (piano, ring modulator, and clavinet), Eberhard Weber (bass) and Fred Braceful (percussion). Also the producer is Manfred Eicher, who appears on a lot of the important ECM releases. Wolfgang Dauner is a huge influence on Demdike Stare, and is a must for anyone who's looking a little deeper to influential releases.
