Description
One striking feature of Sebastian Stier's music is its almost exhilarating physicality. Explosions of power and heft metamorphose into a buoyant lilt, into graceful stretching and expansion, or into gossamer surfaces whose pore-like indentations can do no more than gently quiver. Corporeal sounds grow into landscapes; fissured sonorities emerge from clumps of sound, from outcroppings, eruptions, breakdowns, and overlaps, and from an elastic, reflexional distribution of energy.
Isolated instrumental pitches or rigorously organized agglomerates of ensemble sounds sprout like appendages into sonic shapes, clogging, interpenetrating, and splitting each other apart. Yet they seem precisely manipulated and controlled at every moment of their rhizome-like existence. The harmonic and melodic forces they release are invariably held in check by precisely articulated rhythms that seize and direct the sprightly complexes of sound with a firm hand.
The six pieces on our CD, composed between 1994 and 2004 - "Double", "Fluchtlinien" (Vanishing Lines), "hin her" (To fro), "Zwei Lieder" (Two Songs), "der und die" (He and She), "Windflüchter II" (Wind Bent Trees) -, offer an initial overview of Stier's music over the last ten years. Content
