Am Ufer der Vernunft

In this trio, the composer Enjott Schneider again displays his inventiveness which is of course pushed to its limits due to the reference to the famous character Karl Valentin from Munich. By using musical means which even include theatrical effects, Schneider succeeds in creating a loving homage to Karl Valentin (1882-1948) and his leftist thinking, to his bizarre logic and word acrobatics, to the escalating prevention and destructive performance. Schneider has been professor of music theory, meanwhile of film composition, in Munich since 1979. His extensive activities as a composer, performer, music writer and lecturer make him a versatile musician whose compositional oeuvre ranges from 'classic' avant-garde to pop.
