«In emphasizing weakness over strength, the ongoing endeavors of For 4 Ears maintain a freshness of sound, giving rise to a minimalism pregnant with excess, to a roughness of surfaces that complement rather than compromise their soft, mutable center. No small part of this is due to the emphasis on intersubjectivity in the relationships between the respective players. The questions the players pose consistently lay open, denude, and expose their addressee.»
e/i (US), 9.2007 «Viel Spaß mit diesen sehr guten und präzisen Produktionen, FOR4EARS ist ein Label, das einen weiten Weg durch diese Musiken zurückgelegt hat, also eine lange Geschichte abdeckt und dabei auch jedem Album immer großes Gewicht beimisst: Sie sind wie Ziegel in einer unendlichen Mauer.» «…grazie anche alla significativa produzione dell'etichetta da lui gestita, la For4Ears, divenuta ormai una delle voci piu autorevoli nell'ambito dell'improvvisazione elettroacustica.» «Günter Müller ist mit seinem FOR4EARS-Label neben Erstwhile, Rossbin und Creative Sources eine feste Grösse in der Welt der allerfeinsten SoundArt.» «…It’s been a busy season for Günter Müller’s For4Ears imprint, one of the finest outlets for electro-acoustic music going. In this series of mostly excellent recordings, the label’s well-earned reputation is confirmed.» «Going on 15 years, Swiss imprint Four 4 Ears Records has been releasing a constant body of quality, edgy, experimental sound that counters the mainstream diligently.» «The electro-acoustic improvisation area seems to be the source of a lot of activity within the free improvisation shere these days. There have been a number of excellent releases from Erstwhile Records. One of the pioneers of this style of music has been the Swiss label FOR 4 EARS.» «John Zorn et le label Tzadik, Leo Feigin et Leo Records ou Günter Müller et FOR 4 EARS: tous osent défendre des points de vue novateurs, en n'oubliant pas non plus de tisser des correspondances inédites avec le passé, et, surtout, en participant à l'émergence de nouveaux talents qui, sans eux, n'auraient probablement que très difficilement rencontré un écho.» «Sachiko M's Amoebic label, along with Günter Müller's Swiss based FOR 4 EARS and Jon Abbey's US-based Erstwhile, are record companies that currently represent the outposts of the new music.» «Günter Müller is both a musician and a producer; his record label, FOR 4 EARS is an imprimatur of the new music.» «Kontinuierlich hochqualitativer Output: Die CD-Präzisionsschmiede FOR 4 EARS.» «Le label de Günter Müller n'en fini pas de nous abreuver d'oeuvres objectivement merveilleuses. Pour qui aime la musique électroacoustique, peu de label pourront vous contenter comme celui la.» «Despite industry indicators to the contrary, we are experiencing a rush of creativity, as musicians storm the hallowed ground historically tended by such Titans as Cage, AMM, MEV, and the group Ongaku. From his Swiss outpost, FOR 4 EARS curator Günter Müller has been chronicling (and, in no small way, both participating in and influencing) this global trend. Under Müller's direction, the label has become a key force in extending the boundaries of modern music, bringing together international representatives from the outmost ranks of noise, conceptual art, sound design, and schooled musicianship.» «Un plauso alla FOR 4 EARS per l'alta qualità che contraddistingue le sue uscite.» «Percussion and electronics sage Günter Müller's FOR 4 EARS label is one of the major champions of European improvised music.» «As always top rate production and highest recording quality is the usual trademark of the FOR 4 EARS recordings accompanying the interesting work of contemporary music.» «One of the most revolutionary labels in future music.» «... FOR 4 EARS, une des compagnies les plus étonnantes en Europe» |
