| | eye-opening early-mid 80s synthesizer/drum machine & instrument duos, recorded as the musical accompaniment to an experimental ballet... comes across like the lost hybrid of the new york no wave (there’s a great bit of arto-lineage scratchy guitar & machine-drum - check out the sound-sample) & krautrock/neu deutsche welle (long stretches of abstract synthesizer & scraping violin)... |
| | diese wildnis hat kultur
the set for the new production of the ballet der krieger (graz opera house, studiobühne) is on a serial image concept. projected image panels act as a stage set that forms a subtle grid background for the one-man performance (choreography: jörg schlick). the symphony diese wildnis hat kultur (1982) forms the musical base of the dance performance.
one instrument is reserved for each of the four movements:
jörg schlick: violin, flutes, violoncello and electric guitar
andi beit: synthesizer.
'minimalist form was combined with expressionist social comment' wrote jack anderson (new york times, 21.05.1985) in his critique of the première. this reference to the field of tension between the minimalist vocabulary of forms or object gesture (performers) and the expressive portrayal of social conditions hits on a fundamental aspect of schlick's work. the symphonic composition accompanies the performance like a 'synthetic heartbeat' that corresponds to the intensity of beethoven's 'eroica' in terms of its tonal character. the 'deflection of the needle', the electronic display of tonal intensity and pitch of the classical symphony, acted as the score for jörg schlick. |
