Ekkehard Ehlers Plays (Staubgold, 2002) Pretty much a card carrying member of the musical avant-garde, Ekkehard Ehlers work has always seemed bent on stretching the boundaries of sound.

Instead, I thought I'd feature [...]

Then I realized this idea would appeal to approximately nobody (including myself), and more importantly, it would require even more effort then regular effort takes. So that idea gets scrapped, along with any other semblance of structure I might have attempted to implement. But I kinda figured out how I wanted to jam this together at least once so here you go...
