This recording compiles two string trios by von Schweinitz: the Plainsound String Trio "KLANG auf Schön Berg La Monte Young" and "Afshari".

This recording brings together two string trios by Wolfgang von Schweinitz. The Plainsound String Trio 'KLANG auf Schön Berg La Monte Young' is entirely based on a 4-part chorale composed by Arnold Schoenberg in Los Angeles. The chorale is tuned in classical 5-limit just intonation with pure major thirds and perfect fifths, and performed at a very slow tempo.
The Plainsound String Trio 'Afshari' was composed during the summer weeks of 2021 for the TrioCoriolis. This study in non-tempered microtonal just intonation is entirely based on the traditional Persian modes assembled in the collection of old Persian melodies called Dastgah-e Afshari or Avaz-e Afshari.
