William Bennett is one of the great pioneers of noise and industrial music. His influential project WHITEHOUSE has become a worldwide reference. The music on this CD and the arrangements by Reinhold Friedl were worked out in close collaboration with William Bennett and the zeitkratzer musicians. The compositions are short, very clear, and have an unbelievable impact, the sounds are harsh and exactly defined. This music is an adventurous journey into the amplified acoustic noise of musical instruments.
This project would not have been possible without the experience of zeitkratzer in noise and sound music, for example in their collaborations with Merzbow, Lou Reed, Zbigniew Karkowski or Keiji Haino. This CD is one of the most concentrated and precise noise works, zeitkratzer has ever presented.

William Bennett ist einer der bedeutendsten Pioniere der Noise- und Industrial-Musik. Sein Projekt WHITEHOUSE wurde eine weltweite Referenz. Die vorliegende CD und die Arrangements von Reinhold Friedl entstanden in enger Zusammenarbeit mit William Bennett und den zeitkratzer Musikern. Die Kompositionen sind kurz, sehr klar und unglaublich dicht, die Klänge harsch und exakt definiert. So wird diese Musik zu einer beeindruckenden Abenteuerreise in die Welt verstärkter akustischer Instrumentengeräusche.
Ohne die große Erfahrung von zeitkratzer mit Noise- und Sound-Musik – man denke an die Kollaborationen mit Merzbow. Lou Reed, Zbigniew Karkowski oder Keiji Haino, um nu einige zu nennen - wäre diese Produktion nicht möglich gewesen. Diese CD gehört zu den konzentriertesten und präzisesten Noisemusiken, die zeitkratzer bisher präsentierte.
