"The perspective of the Sampler Suite is the vertical section of the city: we are offered a look underground, at the sewers, the Inner workings of the city, at urban history, at what lies buried beneath the surface, at ruins that reveal glimpses of history -like the Scarlatti quotation in the Allemande or a chorale evocative of the Baroque in the Gigue. As digital memory, the sampler is an ideal vehicle for human memory. It brings us the sounds of cities such as Berlin, New York. Tokyo or St. Petersburg: industrial noise (or what might be taken for it - the sounds produced when music is electronically transformed), subcultural "noise" and the sounds of history - like the scratchy recordings from the 1920s and '30s in the Chaconne, which preserve the memory of the Jewish cantorial tradition, a vocal culture that has long ceased to be accessible in this form." Heiner Goebbels translated by Eileen Walliser
