The composer Asmus Tietchens and the visual artist Rolf Zander present a most special project - a cycle of 12 graphical and musical representations dealing with a small river (Tarpenbek) in northern Germany. The cycle of
original etchings by Zander dates back to the years 1975 - 1977, depicting topographical details from the river banks. Tietchens later found a musical form to match these ultra-minimalist images and adding something to them
too. Hence the project is more than setting music to images, it brings together to different artistic perspectives to create a new whole.
