▓█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █▓
█ █▓░█ On Dome Enders celebrates the physical beauty and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ mystical transfiguration of the pure note that stands █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ for itself. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ Projects like Enders Room and the Tied & Tickled Trio █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ have made saxophonist Johannes Enders famous far █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ beyond GermanyÆs borders. If he is now marking out █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ new musical territory on his Dome CD, there is no █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ need for concern that he might not remain true to █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ himself. The very title of the album refers to Enders █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ Room. And yet here the room is polarized quite █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ differently than what we are used to from Enders. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ From the first note, it becomes clear that he is █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ looking for an entirely different resonance here than █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ an ordinary studio can offer. In the Romanesque █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ church of St. Michael in Altenstadt in Bavaria, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ Enders found a space suitable to realizing this █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ project. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ Syntheses of European sacred music and jazz or other █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ improvised music are common. But Enders has managed █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ to make an album that is unique in this country. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ Concrete and mystical spaces interpenetrate one █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ another; mental landscapes are absorbed in the niches █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ and vaults of these consecrated walls. Time congeals █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ in space. Enders is not looking for a simple █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ translation of ancient sounds into contemporary █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ music. He is more interested in the ancient within █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ himself than in the past of history. ôI have always █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ been fascinated by sacred space,ö Enders admits. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ ôToday there are only a few places left that produce █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ a vacuum. Independently of religion, every church █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ develops its own sound. This old Romanesque basilica █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ near Schonau is utterly undecorated. I always wanted █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ to explore this space. I wrote these pieces with John █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ Hollenbeck and a few others in mind, and we recorded █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ them in two sessions. At some point there was an █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ interface between the electronic space of the church █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ and the electronics. I worked on many of the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ recordings afterward. These sounds from the church █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ gave me so many ideas that I would have considered it █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ a shame not to open up this other space as well. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ There is surely a lot of Enders Room in there too, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ but the point of departure was the church.ô █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ Dome revokes time as a chronological process. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ Johannes Enders reaches back to an era long before █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ ours that today we understand as tradition. He does █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ not, however, allow himself to fall into the past █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ entirely; rather he initiates a dialogue. In that █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ respect, his album can be considered an antidote to █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ constantly changing modish behavior. Every drop of █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ zeitgeist one allows to trickle into this music is █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ distributed in the ocean of all events that have ever █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ occurred and will ever occur. The music is marked by █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ a burden of centuries that nevertheless feels quite █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ light. And it is touched by a kind of melancholy that █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ does not obscure the gaze forward. ôI am entirely █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ open to all emotional worlds,ö Enders says. ôI had █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ lots of time to think about this album. This kind of █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ church space has the advantage that time stands █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ still. The spaces of churches and monasteries have █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ always been places where people sought answers. I █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ always have the feeling that today people give up the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ search too quickly. I find that a shame.ô █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ The CD also tells of an arrival. It describes a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ situation. Other CDs by Enders always transport the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ listener to a sate of internal and external movement. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ Dome, by contrast, is a call to pause. It grabs hold █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ of the listener and expands time rather than █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ compressing it. ôThat is perhaps a question of █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ identity,ö the saxophonist speculates. ôEnders Room █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ is composed of a number of influences. And my jazz █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ CDs contain many American ingredients. In Enders Room █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ I tried not thinking of anything at all. Even when █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ composing I reflected on my Western identity. Church █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ spaces play a formative role there. I come from a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ very religious family. Although I am not Catholic █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ myself, spirituality is something very important to █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ me. ô █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ The title Dome may sound a little sweeping, but it █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ refers not to the size of the space but to its █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ spiritual nature. The music quickly reveals an █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ affinity to meditation and asceticism. ôI am █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ intrigued by the question where I stand vis-α-vis █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ such a bare space without letting myself get █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ distracted.ö This confession leads directly to the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ personality of this sensitive jazz musician. Dome █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ uncovers human facets of Johannes Enders that have █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ stood in the background on his previous albums. He is █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ an artist who plans things out carefully and leaves █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ little to chance. Before getting carried away by a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ rash statement, he prefers to think about it three █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ times. In face-to-face conversation he always █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ expresses himself slowly and carefully. With every █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ sentence he makes it clear that he takes full █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ responsibility for his statements and that the phrase █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ ôinessential matterö does not exist in his █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ vocabulary. This pensiveness is echoed on the CD. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ Even far beyond German borders the Weilheim scene has █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ a reputation for being a paradise of musical freedom. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ Along with the Acher brothers, Johannes Enders is █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ considered one of the driving forces of that biotope, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ which bold journalists have compared with the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ multiple styles that define the musical scene in █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ Chicago. For Enders, one important aspect of this █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ openness is proximity to nature. ôNature always █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ calibrates me toward the center,ö he says, almost █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ seized by emotion. That is why he had no need to flee █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ into the musical world of the Middle Ages in order to █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ establish his personal relationship with the sacred █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ stone. ôI have been tinkering with this music for █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ years. When I wrote the pieces for the record, early █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ music was certainly an inspiration. But I did not █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ want to imitate Gregorian chant but rather address █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the question what music would suit this kind of █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ church space.ô █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ On Dome Enders finally betrays a close physical bond █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ to his instrument and to every single note. Together █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ with the Norwegian trumpeter Nils-Petter Molvµr, the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ Munich-based tonbak player Saam Schlamminger, bass █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ clarinetist Ulrich Wangenheim, drummer John █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ Hollenbeck, and organist Ralf Schmid, Enders █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ celebrates the physical beauty and mystical █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ transfiguration of the pure note that stands for █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ itself. Ecstasy resides in the interstices. ôThat is █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ surely because this church space is so sensitive. I █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ always have to take care not to overburden it. This █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ space reacts quite differently to the individual note █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ than do the spaces I am used to. In that sense, my █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ personal style as wind player comes across totally █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ differently than it does when I just start playing █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ with a percussionist. ô █░▓█ █
