Antonis Anissegos - Desktop Complete (2024)

Desktop Complete is the result of the collaboration between Johannes Wohlgenannt (composer), Antonis Anissegos (performer) and Michael Fletscher (sound engineer). The album was recorded in the town hall of Weitra in Upper Austria, where the pianist Antonis Anissegos performed the pieces on a legendary Steinway D grand piano and Michael Fletscher recorded the tracks strictly with analogue equipment.

“Gestalt” in German means “outline”, “form” or “figure” and maybe this term is useful to describe Johannes Wohlgenannt’s compositional style. Characteristic elements of his artistic work are conciseness, contrast, uniqueness, variation, repetition, transposition and tempo. These elements are fundamental aspects of music-making but at the same time they can be also a sort of springboard for the creation of a variety of effects that seemingly have nothing in common with their material approach. These are places where seemingly dead things are going to be transformed into living and present forms: pure energy!
