 | TACK, DRIES In Memoriam Alvin Lucier Label : Sub Rosa Year : 2025 Format : LP Style : Experimental Availability : In stock Price : 19.60 € - BUY | |
| Description : | This album is not just a homage — it's a gentle act of remembrance. A way of tuning in to what Lucier showedus: that listening is an art in itself. A meditation onresonance, memory, and the quiet power of pure sound.Or to quote Alvin Lucier himself: 'I guess I'm trying to helppeople hold shells up to their ears, and listen to the ocean again.'
The influence of Alvin Lucier's work on acoustic phenomena and the interplaybetween sound and space is difficult to overstate. His legacy continues to echothrough the work of countless composers and sound artists today. Lucier's music is marked by a sense of childlike wonder and sonic simplicity - shifting our perception from what we hear to how we listen. At the heart of his compositions lies the sine wave: the purest, most elemental form of sound. Clarinetist Dries Tack pays tribute to this master of minimalism with an album centered around two works Lucier composed as intimate ‘In Memoriams' for friends. Both pieces explore a single, elegant idea: the interaction between an instrumental tone and a sine wave. Out of that interaction, ‘beatings' emerge — a pulsating rhythm that accelerates or decelerates as the waves draw nearer or drift apart. Though built on the sameconcept, the two works are like mirrored reflections of one another: In MemoriamJon Higgins, the sine wave glides in a slow glissando while the clarinet holds steady tones. In Memoriam Stuart Marshall, it's the clarinet that dances around a fixedsine wave DRIES TACKDries Tack is a clarinetist specializing in contemporary performance practices. He performs with ensembles such as Nadar Ensemble, Curious Chamber Players, and Ensemble Fractales. As co-artistic director of the GLoW Collective, he explorescollaborative practices across artistic disciplines in the broadest sense.In addition to his ensemble work, Dries curates solo projects that offer freshperspectives on existing repertoire or give rise to entirely new works at theintersection of composition and improvisation. | |
