7 CD's packaged in a hardcover slipcase with a pull ribbon, 20 page booklet containing an extensive essay on the composition by the scholar Gergely Loch, photos from the process and of scores and the composerIn 2012 Ideologic Organ released the 2LP set '12 Stationer VI' featuring the last part of a large scale work by the Hungarian-Swedish composer Akos Rozmann. Here, in 2014 Ideologic Organ is immensely proud to present the complete version of Rozmann's epic masterpiece presented for the first time in its entirety as a deluxe 7CD set. The elements recorded here became the source material for Twelve Stations, a work which flew far from the initial five minute brief to land 20 years later as a spirit stretching journey of more than 6 1/2 hours. The compositional process is unique in Rozmann's output due to the 18 year gap between the initial phase and completion of the final work. The first phase made between 1978-1980 consists of an exploration of traditional musique concrete techniques such as speeding up, slowing down, cutting and splicing tape. The last four stations made between 1998-2001 embrace digital technology where small sections of the original recordings from 1978 were fed through an effects processor and improvised on a sampler keyboard. Despite this gap and the different techniques deployed at each period of creation the monumental result sits as a complete and staggering whole.
