Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Fields wrote OZZO and Moersbow with the idea of having a book (which continues to grow) that could be performed by any ensemble stocked with at least sixteen traditionally trained musicians who play pitched instruments and who improvise. The piece can accommodate many more pitched or unpitched instruments as well.

The musicians in this orchestra reflect Cologne's deep and wide musical pool. For decades the city has been a magnet for creative musicians of a particular ilk. Classical matter whetted, they are nonetheless zealous improvisers, boundary violators, genre ignorers, alliance formers, vagabonds. For decades they have been drawn to Cologne by Germany's largest music conservatory, supportive venues such as the Loft, the presence of avant-garde pioneers such as Stockhausen, Kagel, Ligeti, and Koenig, and close proximity to other musical centers such as Amsterdam, Paris, and Berlin.

OZZO, which takes up most of the bytes on this disc, is the most recent of Fields' modular compositions. The first was "48 Motives" and the second was "96 Gestures". An improvising conductor, Fields on this recording, selects material and indicates when, and sometimes how, the musicians are to improvise. The language that the conductor and musicians use to communicate is a set of physical gestures drawn from the American Manual Alphabet (the letter shapes that many deaf people use to spell words with their hands) and traditional conducting movements. In addition to playing their instruments, the musicians also can suggest, in the moment, modules they would like to play and with whom, whether they would like to improvise, solo, or even stop playing. This interaction makes the performances unusually organic and dynamic.

"Moersbow" is an homage to the Japanese electronics master Merzbow, who works the interactions of phased noise at extreme volume levels. In contrast to the music of its namesake, Moersbow is meant to be performed as quietly as possible. The ensemble is divided into groups that a conductor triggers to play a series of independent loops. The loops contain some combination of noises, pitch material, small melodies. Although Moersbow's outcome is not as variable as Ozzo, the phasing and timing of the loops and choices the performers make do result inconsiderable differences between performances."-Clean Feed Records


Artist Biographies

"Scott Fields (born September 30, 1952 in Chicago, Illinois) is a guitarist, composer, and bandleader. He is best known for his attempts to blend music that is composed and music that is written and for his modular pieces (see 48 Motives, 96 Gestures and "OZZO"). He works primarily in avant-garde jazz, experimental music, and contemporary classical music.

Fields was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. He started as a self-taught rock musician but soon was influenced by the musicians of the Association for the Advancement for Creative Musicians (AACM), which was active in the Hyde Park neighborhood in which he grew up. Later he studied classical guitar, jazz guitar, music composition, and music theory. In 1973 Fields co-founded the avant-garde jazz trio Life Rhythms. When the group disbanded two years later, he played sporadically but soon was institutionalized for an extended period. He almost quit music until 1989.

Since then he has performed and composed actively. His ensembles and partnerships have included such musicians as Marilyn Crispell, Hamid Drake, John Hollenbeck, Joseph Jarman, Myra Melford, Jeff Parker, and Elliott Sharp."

"Thomas Lehn was Born in Fröndenberg (Germany) in 1958. Since the early 1980s Thomas Lehn has been working as a author and performer of contemporary music. After studying recording engineering - piano with Prof. Wilfried Kassebaum - at the Music Academy of Detmold in Germany, studies at the Music Academy of Cologne with Peter Degenhardt and Prof. Klaus Oldemeyer (classical piano) and with Frank Wunsch and Francis Coppieters (jazz piano) completed his academical education. In the 80ies he took part on courses of Studio for pianistic interpretation held by Prof. Jürgen Uhde.

As an interpreting pianist he has been playing concerts since 1982 - performing both contemporary new music including numerous first performances and traditional composed music of the classical and romantical period. In 1989 he initiated the chamber ensemble Trio Dario and four years later the Mengano Quartett, performing compositions of the contemporary avant-garde, in particular numerous first performances of comissioned works. Developed parallel to his work as a pianist, since the early 1990s his major and widely reknown work has been performing and producing live-electronic music. Rooted in the experience of a wide spectrum of musical fields based on his background as an interpreting and improvising pianist in classical-, contemporary and jazz-music and having been involved in numerous other projects like music theatre, dance, multi-media, studio pre-/post-production etc., he has been developing an individual 'language' of electronic music.

The electronic equipment he uses consists of analogue synthesizers of the late 1960s, and since 1994 in particular the EMS Synthi A. Besides the substantial sound qualities of its analogue synthesis, the facilities of this modular instrument - for example to modify electronic sounds very directly as well as to combine and to control several parameters of the sound synthesis at the same time - allows him to spontaneously act in close contact with the various structural degrees of the musical process.

In 2000 his solo album Feldstärken had been released on German label Random Acoustics. Up today, his discography enclosures about 80 CD publications. Numerous appearances at major international festivals of contemporary musics and concerts tours in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Hungaria, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Scotland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA give evidence of his international profile and recognition.

He has been involved in projects promoted and/or supported by the Goethe-Institutes in Belgrade, Boston, Bratislava, Budapest, Chicago, Copenhagen, Glasgow, Lille, Lissabon, London, Manchester, Marseille, Milano, Montreal, Palermo, Rome, San Francisco, Tel Aviv, Tokyo, Toronto, Warsaw, Wellington and York. His musical activities enclosure long term and newer ensemble collaborations as well as involvements in numerous specific single projects. Long term collaborations are ensembles like KONK PACK, TOOT, THERMAL, FUTCH, MIMEO, SPEAK EASY, 6IX, VARIO-34, as well as the duo works with Marcus Schmickler, Tiziana Bertoncini, Gerry Hemingway, Paul Lovens, Frédéric Blondy Urs Leimgruber and John Butcher. More recently formed ensembles are the duos with Benoît Moreau and with the video artist Kjell Bjørgeengen, trio formations with John Butcher involving pianists John Tilbury and Matthew Shipp.

Further he is pianist and founding member of the ensemble]h[iatus, an ensemble for interpretation and improvisation of contemporary music, whichs members are all experienced interpreters and improvisers. The ensemble compiles concert programs integrating/alternating notated and real-time-created contemporary music. It has been first-performing commissioned works by Vinko Globokar, Peter Jakober, Jennifer Walshe, Anthony Pateras besides performing compositions of the contemporary repertoire. Besides performing his own electronic music, in the recent years Thomas Lehn became more active as a synthesizer interpreter of electronic compositions. The realisation of Boguslav Schaeffer's Electronic Symphony - live performed in 2010 and 2011 - has been documented on the CD PRES Scores on polish label Bolt/Monotype. In 2012 he world premierred OCCAM VI for synthesizer solo by Éliane Radigue at Berghain Berlin during festival Faithful! and - together with KlangForum Wien - dort for synthesizer and 15 piece ensemble by Austrian composer Peter Jakober at musikprotokoll Graz and at Konzerthaus Vienna."

"Since the end of his music studies at the Folkwang Hochschule Essen and the Musikhochschule Köln, Mainz has been realizing works between composed, improvised and electro-acoustic music, media art, dance theater, theater and radio.

In 2001 he founded the interdisciplinary project ensemble realtime research and produced mixed media environments and performances, electro-acoustic music and theater projects until 2012. In connection with the projects, workshops and lecture performances were held at universities, art and music colleges in Germany, Poland, the USA, Turkey and Iran. Mainz has been dealing with questions of transcultural music and its integration into national and international cultural politics since 2012. Research took him to Kabul, Tehran and Istanbul. Mainz has been developing and managing the platform for transcultural new music as an instrument of artistic production and artistic-scientific research since 2015.

His transdisciplinary thinking on which his work is based repeatedly leads to collaborations beyond musical-artistic contexts. The contact with the ethnomusicologists Martin Greve (Istanbul), Azin Movahed (Teheran), Robert Reigle (Istanbul, Los Angeles) and Raimund Vogels (Hannover-Hildesheim) since 2013 opened up new rooms for Mainz to share artistic, musicological and sociological perspectives to bring in connection.

Formative musical influences for Mainz emerged from contacts with teachers and role models of different lengths since 1989, such as the trumpeters Markus Stockhausen, Manfred Schoof and Dave Douglas, the composing pianists Simon Nabatov and Georg Graewe, and the unfortunately deceased trumpeters Laurie Frink and Kenny Wheeler and the composer Johannes Fritsch. Further fleeting, rather coincidental encounters since 1998 with the composers Karlheinz Stockhausen, Györgi Ligeti, Anthony Braxton, Ron Kuivila, Alvin Lucier and David Behrman during studies and stays abroad also left formative impressions, some of which changed the direction of his further work.

Above all, the suggestions that resulted from the intensive collaboration with musicians and artist colleagues since 2001 influenced, shaped and changed the work and self-image of Matthias Mainz decisively - including the computer musicians Prof. Alberto de Campo and Hannes Hölzl, Joker Nies, Alex Gunia, Frank Schulte and Markus Aust, the electronic music producer Boris Polonski from the environment of Can and Mille Plateux, the music performance artist Rochus Aust, the composing improvisation musicians of the Cologne loft / Berlin real-time music and improvisation scenes Carl -Ludwig Hübsch, Matthias Schubert, Frank Gratkowski, Philipp Zoubek and Simon Rummel as well as the media artists Jörg Oswald, Alexander Peterhaensel, Daniel Burkhard, Luis Negron van Grieken, Egbert Mittelstädt and Tessa Knapp and the visual artist Matthias Groebel."

"The direction was clear from early on. From the age of four, I played euphonium - like my father; at seven I gave my first public performance; later, I started piano as well; and at twelve I finally decided in favour of tuba."

"But exactly how far one can go with this apparently unwieldy instrument only became clear to Melvyn Poore (born 1951) while he was studying. His experiences as "music director" of the "Birmingham Arts Laboratory" contributed to the realisation that there is a life as tubist beyond the humdrum of the orchestra. "Even as a student, I preferred to play pieces that weren't written for tuba at all."

Poore's first experiments in the "Arts Lab" with tape and electronics led him on to a new passion: the experimental interaction of acoustic instruments and technology, which for him now has the same priority as purely acoustic experiments involving the sound possibilities of the tuba. Poore has passed on his experience in the capacities of interpreter, composer and also lecturer: he was "Research Assistant" at the Salford College of Technology (1989-1991), a guest at the Zentrum für Kunst- und Medientechnologie (Centre for Art and Media Technology) in Karlsruhe from 1992-1994 (where he developed his concept 'METAinstrument'), and 1993-95 "Visiting Professor for Electro-Acoustic Music" at the Royal College of Music in London.

Since 1995 he is a permanent member of Ensemble Musikfabrik and dedicates himself to the creation of the pedagogical department of the ensemble."

"Philip Zoubek (* 1978 in Tulln an der Donau ) is an Austrian pianist of the New Improvisation Music. A striking feature is his highly energetic play, the limits of the pianos, which also include preparation techniques and actions inside the instrument.

Zoubek studied piano at the Conservatory of the City of Vienna from 1996 onwards. He founded the Ubik quartet and took lessons with Uli Scherer before he enrolled at the Musikhochschule Vienna. In 2002 he moved to Cologne, where he studied with Hans Lüdemann, Frank Gratkowski and Marc Ducret. He founded the multimedia project Cauldron, with whom he won the composition competition of the bunker Ulmenwall Bielefeld and the cultural promotion award of the city of Herford; a DVD Q-Spektrum was created in 2003. With the group Snaut with Richard Koch (tp), Eric Schaefer (dr) and Christian Rainer (voice), he toured through Germany and Switzerland and became a prizewinner of the avant-garde competition for Young culture at the Düsseldorfer Altstadtherbst. Since 2004 he belongs to Achim Tang's Trio Torn, which performed successfully in 2011 in a quartet version at the Moers Festival. He was a member of the James Choice Orchestra ( Live at Moers, 2005), Ensemble Creativ, Org, Camera Obscura and the trio Muche / Zoubek / Tang. As a composer Philip Zoubek appeared with his own formation Philz. He also worked with Paul Lytton, Carl Ludwig Hübsch, Ernst Glerum, Herb Robertson, Wilbert de Joode and Christian Thomé.

In 2008 he received the Horst and Gretl Will scholarship for Jazz / Improvised Music of the City of Cologne. Also in 2008 he founded the Trio Z3 with Benjamin Weidekamp and Christian Weber. The formation Z3 was born out of the idea of ​​the music of the Jimmy Giuffre -Trios of the 1960s."
