about

In 2013, pianist Isabel Ettenauer and composer Karlheinz Essl collaborated on a special project. The result is the album “Whatever Shall Be – Music for Toy Instruments and Electronics”, on which the virtuoso Ettenauer performs pieces on the toy piano, kalimba, and jukebox that Essl composed especially for her. He also added electronics to some of the pieces. On the 10th anniversary of this release, we proudly present the digital version of the album, which includes two previously unreleased pieces, namely “Under- wood”, created in collaboration with Ensemble Reconsil (conducted by Antanina Kalechyts), and “Trois Cent Drones”. This album also includes the original ver- sions of “WebernSpielWerk” and “Listen Thing”, two tracks recently released on the album “ORGANO/LOGICS” by Karlheinz Essl and Wolfgang Kogert.
