Tátrai Quartet

Gyula Dávid’s String Quartet composed in 1962 for the eightieth birthday of Zoltan Kodaly is practically an expression of the great homage the former pupil is paying to his master. Though based on dodecaphony some elements of construction, its forming and a Hungarian rhythm make the work akin to the traditional Hungarian school. Out of its three movements, the first is a sonata of individual interpretation rich in contrasts,— the second series of lyrical-dramatical in variations, and in the closing quick rondo there appear also bagpipe figurations the bass. [LPX 1227]

$Kasper T Toeplitz - Lärmesmitte Lärmesmitte, for solo basscomputer (2006) At the turn of the century – of the millennium – I almost completely abandoned the electric bass, my instrument of choice until then, which seemed to me too rooted in a 20th century history, too subject to guitar rites, not sufficiently in touch with the now, to use only the computer as a stage instrument, for live performances. Using the computer as my main instrument – as much an instrument for thinking about music as an instrument for the stage – has opened me up to possibilities that were previously unattainable: microtones, almost infinite polyphony, sound clouds, notions of density, registers... And then, once again, the desire to hybridize these possibilities with the bass – like a reunion – but a rethought bass, whether in its form, its electronic construction, its possibilities. Another consequence of working with the computer as my primary instrument has been my growing fascination with noise, to the point of making it, in its various forms and colors (white, black, grey, fractal...), my sole sound source – filtered, sculpted, worked on in real time – theres no question of broadcasting sounds prepared in silence. Everything happens within the time frame of the music. Kasper T Toeplitz Art by Marco Fusinato$
