When asked 35 years later if he feels he has accomplished his target, he answers that he has at least made a contribution to the goal he strived for. With the advance of age, everyone becomes a little more realistic about his ambitions, but an anarchistic flame is far from extinguished in Hijmans. The music on this CD has a narrative quality and is intuitive in character rather than abstract or constructivist, but all individual works share an unruly, or at least willful, edginess; a particular 'guitar language'. The repertoire of this CD shows the traces of the, perhaps now 'old', 20th century avant-garde which valued experimentation and an inquisitive interest in adventurous musical vista's so much more highly than is common in the mainstream new music of today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49210696040690,"sku":"IMT5124733.2","price":30.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/3777958.jpg?v=1778889002","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/hijmans-wiek-electric-language-ladder-of-escape-16-music-cd-8714835124733","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
