A collaboration between Austrian composer Klaus Lang and the ensemble Golden Fur (Samuel Dunscombe, Judith Hamann & James Rushford). ‘Beissel’ uses music by the eighteenth century Baptist leader Johann Conrad Beissel, who developed his own compositional system which he said was given to him by angels, and which has been described as a very early pre-cursor of serialism.
