Description

The wish to defeat gravity, to outsmart it, or at least to simulate situations of conquered gravity, can find its pendant in the many attempts to delay the fading away of sound which has been put into vibration by an impulse - or instance the sound of a piano. The history of piano music, and not just since Romanticism, is almost completely the history of such techniques. Though these play an important role in my compositions, I am more interested in how the possibilities are changing. Pianistic models derived from fingering techniques, organised as mechanical processes initially only meant to move the strings, the fading away of which should be prevented by several violent interventions; severe rhythmicised processes of construction and deconstruction; filtering, sudden integration of totally different categories of perception, etc: such smuggled models created their own dynamics.

Also essential is the possibility of transfering the initial pianistic type (attack impulse, figuration, form, metamorphosis, but also reversibility and firmness) to the orchestra, to separate characteristic orchestral groups as if to create a superpiano. The solo instrument thus becomes only part of the whole. As signposts in this material landscape, there are raw basic forms such as the unchanged echo, the pure sound, but also more complex forms such as "false echo", the "filtered cantilene" and finally also "martellato" fields covering their own echo or being swallowed by it . Simultaneously, there is a harmonic image: harmonics orientated towards simple and aggregate forms, unison sound (the orchestral version of the string choirs of the piano), but also a second, the simple tonally unresolved interval. All these are coordinated in view of the fading processes which have to be hindered on a small and a large scale, expressively emptied and loaded anew. The music thus goes through situations which – continuing, contrasting or changing in quality originate from one another. It appears to move away from the initial idea, becoming more and more independent, only to reach that same idea again, recognizing themselves as a giant cantibile, and subject themselves to it.

(Helmut Lachenmann, program notes for the Huddersfield Festival 2000)

Great rug, especially for the price!
Size: 30" X 20", Color: Black
This rug was perfect for our small bathroom. It acts as a rug for the toilet and for the bathtub at the same time. So far it is holding up nicely and has fantastic grip on our lvp flooring and is so soft on my feet! 10/10 would buy again!

Well-made liner that ‘s heavy & durable
Size: 72"W x 78"L (Pack of 1), Color: 1a. Clear
These Barossa Design Long Shower Curtain Liner is thick, sturdy, and looks and feels noticeably more durable than standard liners. The heavier weight helps it hang straight without clinging, giving the shower a clean, polished look. It does a great job keeping water contained, and the material feels strong enough to last through regular use without tearing or thinning out. The length is ideal for taller showers, adding extra coverage and protection.

Great Quality and Perfect for Creative Projector Effects
Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1), Color: 1a. Clear
Although designed as a shower curtain liner, I ended up using this for a completely different purpose and it worked perfectly. I placed it behind my study window as a projection screen for Halloween videos, and the results were fantastic. The material allowed the projector image to display clearly while still diffusing the light nicely for a great effect from outside. The quality was much better than expected, the material felt durable, and it was easy to position and work with. This product turned out to be incredibly versatile and offered excellent value for the money. If you enjoy creative decorating ideas or seasonal displays, this works brilliantly as an inexpensive projection screen alternative.

Perfect length and actually stays in place.
Size: 72"W x 75"L (Pack of 1), Color: 1a. Clear
This liner solved a problem I didn’t realize was bothering me until I switched to it. The extra length makes a big difference—no more water sneaking out onto the floor or the curtain riding up while you’re showering. It hangs nicely and gives a cleaner, more finished look compared to standard sizes. The material feels thicker than the cheap liners you usually find, but not overly stiff. It drapes well and doesn’t stick to you while showering, which is a big plus. The magnets at the bottom actually work and help keep it in place against the tub, especially if you have any airflow in the bathroom. Installation was simple and the reinforced holes seem durable enough to last. Overall, it just does what it’s supposed to do without any fuss. For the price, it’s a solid upgrade and something I’d definitely buy again.

Well made
Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1), Color: 1b. Clear-heavy
The magnets hold well. The grommets are sturdy. The plastic is a bit thick and doesn't like to lie flat against the tub so it is constantly brushing you while you shower.
