DEMOS (FOR CHOIR, CHAMBER QUINTET AND ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
Marcus SCHMICKLER
- Ref. XS118S
- A-MUSIK, 2006. Enregistrement 2002-2005.
"His music defies all attempts at categorization. Schmickler appears to be well versed in all musical genres; only a short while after his impressive duo improvisation with John Tilbury (Variety) and with a new PLURAMON album due for release, Schmickler will once again convince critics and audiences. At the same time, this release reveals yet another aspect of his manifold musical activities - composing for instrumental ensembles and choirs. "Demos" is Schmickler's most ambitious work to date. "Demos" - which can be heard on this release in an arrangement for choir, chamber ensemble and electronic sounds - deals with Nietzsche's thoughts expressed in his "Zarathustra" on the extent with which language could be dealt with (or addressed) as music. Schmickler's abstract and strepitous electronic sounds blend in an illustrative way with the text and the imagination of events portrayed in the dramatic performances of the choir. Thus they become projections of the clamour of an abstract mass." www.lowlands.be
