“For a large part, KONTAKTE for electronic sounds and instruments employs entirely different mechanisms to create musical tension than does KONTAKTE for purely electronic sounds – even though the electronic tape is identical. Pauses and the slow fading of electronic sounds which are so important in generating and maintaining tension in the version for electronic sounds only (see my essay there), now are largely substituted in that role by the interaction of electronic sounds and instruments. The mutual support or the counteraction of the motions of electronic and instrumental sounds, as discussed above, are most vital in the game of musical tension; pauses in the electronic music are filled up by instrumental sounds (most evident for example in Structures II and III; see above for musical functions of the instruments there). The dynamic contrasts between the electronic sounds, important in creating tension in KONTAKTE for purely electronic music, now stand less isolated due to the additional sounds from piano and percussion. Instead, the dynamic contrasts between sounds from instruments and electronic tape now become vital for the musical tension.”
