The musical material on "Lichthöfe" is based on modular recordings by Thorsten Soltau. Conceptually these recordings deal with the spaciality of sound and the stereo field, while still maintaining an improvisational character. Asmus Tietchens has treated the material to intensive deformations, ranging from reductionist clusters to brittle textures. In each treatment a fragment of the original material remains audible.

Here Tietchens has articulated his musical interests clearly: everyday noises were treated and at times deformed beyond recognition and placed into new contexts. Thorsten Soltau works in the field of sound design and electroacoustics, specialising in sonic disintegration, conceptualism and dualism.
