Die InstabilitΣt der Symmetrie? one could see this title as a
programmatic reference to the work of improvisation.
Improvisation is something that suspends a well ordered (or
?symmetrical?) structure and refers to the relativity of
musical organization. So far, so classical.
These improvisations are, however, characterized by what isn?t
played (the clichΘs of the expressive playing one?s trumps are
not to be heard). It is a terse, clearly formulated music that
leaves much out, but is neither minimalistic nor monochrome.
There are suggestions, abbreviations, fragments, small
structural elements that we do not have to perceive assuch,
since they yield a whole picture: this music is completely and
properly formulated. It says less than necessary, but more than
possible. Die InstabilitΣt der Symmetrie organizes the sound of
improvised music anew. Not only the ?composed symmetry,? but
also the specific (improvised) symmetry is confused.
Martin Siewert, guitarist, composer and producer of this album,
often works with bands like Efzeg, SSSD, or Trapist. The
quartet of ?Instability? does not exist as a working band
(which does not mean, however, you cannot book them). The
network between the musicians, however, is so dense that their
music rests upon a dream-like understanding. Martin Siewert
plays with Werner Dafeldecker (contrabass, electronics, last on
Lichtgeschwindigkeit [Speed of Light], with Klaus Lang in SSSD;
Dafeldecker works with Siewert and Martin Brandlmayr (drums)
and others on a pop project; Brandlmayr and Siewert have
released a duo album on Erstwhile and make up 2/3rds of
Trapist; Brandlmayr and Stefan Nemeth (electronics) can be
heard above all in Radian; and Stefan Nemeth will soon run a
label called MOSZ that will produce solo recordings from
Siewert and Brandlmayr.
Die InstabilitΣt der Symmetrie is a co-production of dOc and
GROB. The recordings originated during a concert at the
Viennese Museum for Applied Art on April 2, 2002, a track
without Dafeldecker was recorded a year earlier.
