,: Over the course of the last few decades, Ingar Zach has been an :,
: important force in contemporary and experimental music. Through :
:' his solo percussion music, his regular bands Dans les Arbres, ':
,: Huntsville and MURAL, and countless other collaborations, he has :,
: redefined the role of percussion and expanded the possibilites :
:' of his instruments in a highly personal way. In his four solo ':
,: percussion records, starting with 'Percussion Music' released on :,
: SOFA in 2004, one can sense a clear material and formal :
:' development. ':
,: :,
: His new album "floating layer cake" can be seen as a culmination :
:' of his percussion practise, where this material has been put ':
,: into compositional form, and performed by an ensemble of :,
: musicians. The result is a personal and remarkable sound world. :
:' "floating layer cake" consists of two pieces. 'The Lost Ones' ':
,: is a collaboration between Zach, Canadian string quartet Quatuor :,
: Bozzini, the poet and vocal performer Caroline Bergvall and :
:' guitarist Kim Myhr. This ensemble started with Myhr's piece ':
,: "Pressing clouds, passing crowds", released on HUBRO in 2018, :,
: and it was while working with this project that Zach realised :
:' that the ensemble would be a good vehicle to expand his ':
,: composition 'The Lost Ones', which originally was written for :,
: percussion and voice. Bergvall had been invited to write the :
:' text and place the voice section, and her contribution to the ':
,: piece is brief, but devastatingly powerful, mirroring :,
: beautifully the punctuations and the almost merciless stasis of :
:' the instrumental parts. ':
,: :,
: The second part of the album, "Let The Snare Speak", was :
:' originally commisioned by Australian percussion ensemble Speak ':
,: Percussion, but it is on this record presented in a solo :,
: version. The piece is for three snares with vibrating speakers :
:' and pre-recorded electronics. Different sine tones are played ':
,: through the speakers, which generate a flurry of distortions and :,
: harmonic filtering from the surface of the drum skin. :
:' ':
,: floating layer cake is both a culmination of years of exploring :,
: the possibilities of percussion instruments, at the same time it :
:' is a leap into something new; taking his own personal material ':
,: into the world of ensemble composition, and expanding and :,
: broadening both the scope and impact of his music. Discover this :
:' remarkable gem of contemporary music, released on CD and DL ':
,: with a beautiful cover image by Norwegian video artist Kjell :,
: Bj°rgeengen. :
