another one on the AT label called ‘Horsky Park’, which features two players - Tiziana Bertoncini (violin) and Thomas Lehn (synthesizer) … it contains some of the most striking (and satisfying) synthesizer sounds I’ve ever heard. The interplay is excellent–not forced, developing naturally. Largely improvised from what I understand, there’s more information on the YT page, as well as the Another Timbre site. This is a ‘Top five’ AT realease as well.
^this youtube excerpt doesn’t represent Thomas Lehn’s synthesizer playing / contribution very well… he takes a little while to heat up, but when he does, it’s absolutely stunning – wild, vibrant sound-shapes that compliment the violin in beautiful ways… caterwauling, smearing and punctuating interjections, bristling with electricity, it’s very thick -sounding and pronounced.

^this is the second half of the album, it’s from a different day, diff session. The recording quality is less direct, more room sound… and Lehn’s gestures are less pronounced, more chameleon-like. His synthesizer really sounds good, though
