More Info:

The project ‘Hotel Zauberberg’ arose out of Aki Takase’s and Yumi Paul’s shared admiration for the writer Thomas Mann. It mostly consists of notated compositions, with some improvised parts as well. Eleven of the eighteen pieces were penned by Aki Takase, another five are collaborations with Ayumi Paul. Additionally, there are adaptations of a Mozart Minuet and a Bach Partita. Aki Takase reacts to the polyphony of the novel with a variety of stylistic elements. She has never been a purist anyway; she’s never been shy of contact. She is an avant-gardist drawing on tradition. She’s got both claws and finesse. And, most of all, she’s got a sense of humor. Aki Takase and Ayumi Paul’s first collaboration stands out through it’s light-footed intelligence as well as a sense of the abysses of the ‘Magic Mountain’, which turns into a world-theatre of love, illness and death. Thomas Mann, whose work includes music as a subject in itself as well as a language, would have enjoyed it.
