dirac constists of peter kutin, daniel lercher and florian kindlinger who all studied electroacoustics at the univ. for music and performing arts vienna (elak). all are active as musicians in vienna´s improv. scene and also work in fields of live-electronics, sound-installations, field-recordings, sounddesign, etc… they collaborated with dancers, directors, realised different sound/video-installations and did phonographic field-studies in northern india and iceland so far. Besides they are the main organisation-team of viennese experimental music-platform „velak“. dirac describe their music as chamber-music of the 21st century. using the laptop in combination with various acoustic instruments, building up drone layers in their own unique manner with a focus on timbre, resonance and vibration. the live-performances of the trio appear ceremonial in their dedication to the sensation of listening. they will tour through japan in april/may 2010.
Text by Peter Kutin:
our way to create a record is based on the simple principle of direct-recording – which means the shape and form of our music is basically created within one moment. It is not only about meeting in a studio to do the recordings, but to stay together at one place with a focus on creating music and concentrated listening each day. The isolation from other musical inputs and the reduced input in general, being far off from bigger cities, far off an everyday-live takes you to the point when you don’t want to sound like something you know, you just want to search, experiment and play. John Cage said, that experimental music is where the outcome can’t be foreseen. These things happen through passion and not ambition.
For ‘emphasis’, we again went to Salzburg, where we could set up our gear in the basement of Florian’s parents house for one week – the same place we recorded our first album ‘dirac’. We recorded about 4 hours everyday , experimenting with different materials and instruments. We later listened to the results at the studio garnison7 in Vienna and did more editing work in a small hut up in the snowy austrian mountains in February 2008 – it was cold, electricity was short, but it was silent.
The record contains many details that have personal aural connections to us. The bell which reappears on emphasis is an old-cuckoo-clock from the hut. The crows that fly away are a field-recording from vienna´s augarten park – we went in there during the night and triggered the birds with a short lightimpuls from a flash light. The kids playing were recorded in a village in northern India were Daniel and Peter spent some time doing field-recordings. The trumpet appearing in Bantu was recorded by Peter on a frozen mountain lake in Austria – thereby the natural reverb of the valley is transferred onto the record. The cover-picture shows the roof of an old abandoned farming-house, close to the mountain hut where we worked on the record.
