ABOUT CCn`C RECORDS
Music as a contemporary expression
of continuously changing cultures
The three C's represent Classical, Crossculture and Contemporary Music.
These terms are no longer understood as categories but rather as a dynamic process which connects different musical genres like Worldmusic, Jazz,Progressive Rock or Soundscapes.
The artists make themselves recognizable by their own individual style, crossing borders as well as dialogue with other cultures. Our musicians, composers and ensembles understand contemporary music as world music. They are able to create something existential and original out of an integral understanding of global musical cultures. For it is the power and the depth of the original and authentic which makes up the fascination for world music.
These artists feel no reluctance towards tonality and harmony or for a recollection of music as a medium for expressing the soul. Retonalization requires the sensory engagement of the musical material. Thus making music once again a moving experience full of feeling for the listener, something which classical music has already accomplished.
CCn'C has been launched by Ulrich Ruetzel in 1998 with a little help of Absolute Ensembles's musical director Kristian Järvi. It's now hold by DA Music in Diepholz/Germany with Ulrich Ruetzel as the producer.
"When music is really loved it carries something in between the tones that we've already experienced in our mothers womb - something known and yet ungraspable. "Flowing with music on the other side of time" - no composer can write such music, it is there..., or it isn't."
