Album Info

Metallic sounds, drum sounds, string sounds, air sounds, dreaming movement… a sound performance with cembalo, hammer piano, flutes, saxophone, drums, percussion, gongs and singing-drums. The Now!-Ensemble says about the creation of this sound performance: "The title of the performance originates from an intensive work-phase, in which it became apparent, how much our music lives from the individual relations, that constitute the magnetism among us. We experience ourselves mutually in various life situations, in which we can find tension and friction, warmth and light. The association to electricity was obvious. At the same time we experience revolutionizing power of the forceless flow in the present stream of life. We recognize that in the tender affection to what really happens is the key to enormous transformation potentials." The piece has a planned framework, which however only sets landmarks for the players, at which they orient themselves in order to move into new unknown sections of the common sound journey. The tension emerges from the nearly inaudible sounds, unfolds from groping dialogues to phases of violent argument, and nevertheless always remains carried by a calm pulse. The location is included as a fellow player. Thus the musicians meet themselves for example at the large drums, in order to live through an ecstatic Furioso, then walk to the gongs and find to a quiet polyphony there. The body language of Lara Mallien opens the space also for the public. It translates sounds and melodies into gestures, which also inspire retroactively the flow of the music. The audience moves freely in the performance-location. People can take arbitrary distances to the music, to the movement and to the participants, retain far distance or approach completely close to the instruments. Meetings happen also within the audience and are being recognized attentively and appreciated. In this way an unusual warm and intimate atmosphere is created in the course of hours, which allows a long, free ending of the last tone into the entire silence. The original performance takes approximately four hours and involves the location into the sound happening. The music of these recordings was brought in with a live-performance in the abbey church of the Benediktiner Monastery Koenigsmuenster in Meschede and was shortened to one hour.
