Excerpt
from the booklet:
A musician, a woodwind player, who doesn´t just play the
alto and baritone saxophone, clarinet and flute, but also
uses the piano and the zither, employs voice and language,
and a singer, who sings, speaks, whistles - and is silent,
and also a room with microphones, all this sets the scene
for FEATURES OF USEL. No other electro-acoustic or electronic
extras. Only these two with their voices. (…)
Thus originated a 73 minutes long play on tone, speech and
sound, an audio-play. (…)
This BRÜNING/PETROWSKY team has been in existence for a decade
and a half. (..) They have played together in concert in many
European and Asian countries, as well as separately as members
of well-known jazz ensembles, both large and small, travelling
half the globe, and in later years appearing more and more
in Germany. (…) They discovered and invent compositional-dramatic
sequences which adhere to and use, also by means of intonement,
musical archetypes such as call and response, loud and soft,
high and low, and classical models such as theme and variation
and rondo forms, and also younger themes in musical history
like the expressiveness between whispering and shouting. (…)
To hear them in concert or canned is to take part in their
complex process of teamwork and communication. (…) What makes
the BRÜNING/PETROWSKY-USEL aural adventure so different (to
other duos)? (…)Their experience, together with their creative
inquisitiveness, enables them to work consistently on a type
of music which not only needs very few words but also very
clearly makes fun of overtly significant talk and meaningful
verbiage. (…) Beyond all technical bounds, they let us experience
the interplay between two people. (…) |
