Recorded 14th to 17th December 1998 at Das TAT im Bockenheimer Depot, Frankfurt. Mixed 19th to 23rd July 1999 at Musikhochschule, Detmold. Edited 9th August & mastered 12th October 1999 at Bauer Studios, Ludwigsburg.
"Traffic Continues" (1996) consists of a number of cells of composed music which can be juxtaposed with improvisation of various kinds. The structure and precise content are determined spontaneously by the conductor, with the help of the players, during the course of each performance. Commissioned by the Klangspuren Festival in Schwaz, Austria, it was first performed in September 1996.
"Traffic Continues II: Gusto (For Tom Cora)" (1998) was constructed, in the immediate aftermath of his death, around samples of the late Tom Cora's unique and extraordinary cello playing. Interpolated with great sensitivity by Hermann Kretzschmar, these quotations were taken from "Etymology", a record for sampling enthusiasts made by Skeleton Crew for the Rarefication Label in 1995. Commissioned by the Ensemble Modern, and premiered in the Philharmonie Köln in June 1998
