The pieces published with this album come from the most diverse periods of my creative work. They are recorded upright on Bösendorfer, Steinway and Yamaha Grand up to my "Young Chang". "Drauf & Dran" is intended as a milestone and signpost, as it were as a sounding peephole through the "iron" curtain of the familiar, the practised, the outdated in matters of music into a sound universe that, in my opinion, has only been rudimentarily explored officially up to now. The interferences made possible by differently vibrating strings of the piano, overtones and undertones in the decaying reverberation of purposefully accentuated strokes and their reverberation in body and soul: on top of it!" - Hans-Joachim Roedelius, August 2020
