GLISTEN
|
Anaïs Tuerlinckx - piano, string box
Jonas Gerigk - double bass
Burkhard Beins - percussion
GLISTEN plays improvised music, full of strong contrasts and carefully crafted nuances. They use textures and layers to create associative tensions, in which typical instrumental roles of the established format "piano trio" disappear and a captivating, colourful journey of sound emerges. The three musicians interact on a completely equal footing within refined and balanced fields of complex rhythmic references and multiphonic resonances.
"The music on Au Crépuscule occupies a territory somewhere between post-1980 AMM and some of the more thoughtful free improv ensembles of this century, and it's a beauty one of the finer, deeper improv sets to be heard in recent years."
- Brian Olewnick, The Squid's Ear -
"The meta-instrumental frolics of Beins-Gerigk-Tuerlinckx cultivate a frenzied interplay with Olympian calm. The precision of their sound, combined with their remarkable variety of timbres, intensities and textures, is a dream come true. Their intense tension focuses our attention without ever betraying any eagerness or the slightest excitement."
- Jean-Michel Van Schouwburg, Orynx -
"Ephemeral listening experiences that draw the listener deeper and deeper into their alien, fascinating and sometimes even unsettling noisy sounds, hypnotic pulses and suggestive images, with captivating tension and inspired sonic imagination. You may want to listen to these again and again, immediately after the first listening, to explore its almost infinite sonic charms and secrets."
