Klangschaften - Martin Daske

The visual materials in each of the works are very attractive to look at. It’s tempting to say that we almost don’t need the music they may be used to generate. But, on the other hand, a degree of their attractiveness lies in the fact that they are intended to be part of a performance that will produce sound, music. They exist, apparently fixed in space, poised for a movement into music’s essential continuum, time and music, conversely, may be capable of creating an illusion of time standing still, or at least of time’s movement being shaped, slowed and speeded, churned up or stilled, in ways quite different from the movements of a clock.
