about

This release brings together three string quartets by Dmitri Kourliandski, written at different times between 2004 and 2018. "Night-Turn", 2004, is one of the earliest works, nevertheless, here we can already hear Kourliandski’s typical rejection of narrative linearity, his interest in creating an environment rich in many details, a soundscape. In the proposed static the listener is the protagonist, who embarks on an aural journey, discerning details and their connections. "Dolce stil nuovo" 2018 is not about environments, but about lines, even melodies. However, the result of the superposition of these lines is unpredictable for the musicians themselves - they never know which vertical will form in each successive moment. It's a melody that writes itself. Finally, "Maps of Non-Existent Cities. Bludenz," a 2014 work, part of a larger cycle devoted to the ideas and practices of psychogeography and Situationism. Here together with the listener the musicians themselves go on a journey - if in "Night-Turn" the score is strictly organized and detailed, in Dolce Stil Nuovo the musicians create melodic lines in a live mode, in "Bludenz" the score is graphic and suggests a variety of solutions and interpretations, each arising sound is unexpected for the performer him/herself - he/she listens to it, learns and reveals its properties in the process of performance, being a listener of his/her own playing.

There are many J.S. Bach pieces I've heard and enjoyed throughout my life, but it was especially Glenn Gould and his box set who made me fall in love and inspired me to take a deep dive and explore Bach's catalogue a few years ago. Then my music focus shifted for a while, but this interpretation just reignited my obsession again. I love this project, the included booklet and score as well! I'm late to join, but look forward to listening to the other and any future releases :) Gerrit
