Portrait
Statement/review Gary Verkade:
“The search for adventurous new sonorities from acoustic instruments is not dead, but alive and well in the music of Ansgar Beste. To this day nothing compares with the sonorousness of sound elicited from acoustic instruments by live musicians. It is deep, resonant, and eloquent. Beste’s music is necessary in an age when it is all too easy to digitally produce sound without the rigor of intellectual inquiry.”
