Homage 2 to Josef Albers
|
This album is the second part of a homage to Josef Albers.
Dirk and I spent some days in the studio, improvising in a disciplined way with the ghost of Josef Albers watching us. Although the drum parts are essentially indeed based on a method, with colours interpreted as rhythmic meters, the idea was not to work methodically but to the contrary create music in an open improvised way and at the same time stay close to the nature of Josef Albers' work. Each day we spent in the studio was very different, resulting in hours of improvisations of which these pieces are a selection, a chapter in a continuing story. |
Homage 1 to Josef Albers
In 'Interaction of Colors' Josef Albers writes about the interaction of colors, what happens between colors, and about the discrepancy between physical fact and psychic effect. Here 'color' is replaced with rhythm.
After recording the drumparts, two musicians played on top, adding their interpretation of Albers' work on top of the drumparts. In Albers' words : "To honor the masters creatively is to compete with attitude rather than with their results, to follow an artistic understanding of tradition - that is, to create, not to revive." |
