Review of the CD Mondweiß (Edition RZ Berlin):

"Finnish composer Patrick Kosk remains a musique concrète purist, and "Mondweiß" makes the ideal Kosk primer. Beginning in 1981 with the so-so Transmissions in a... (system of coordinates), Kosk's ear becomes increasingly cultivated as his imagination cooks up riskier gambits. A set of pieces written in 2005 derive from transformed, spliced and re-mulched recordings of gamelan instruments. The title piece, Mondweiß

(2008), deals up an information overload of beautifully framed sounds; then Kosk narrows the aperture, plunging listeners down to the core of what had previously been incidental detail. Exhilarating, passionate music: a welcome antidote to university academic electronica."
