In Village Voice, June 24 1997. Excerpt from full-page article on the interrelationship between Popular/Techno cultures and Classical composition... and with a big messy picture of me. - Terre
....Terre Thaemlitz's Die Roboter Rubato (Mille Plateaux), on the other hand [unlike DJ Spooky/Paul Miller's revamping of 1960s musique concrète], isn't reminiscent of anything. Even though Thaemlitz came from the DJ world, the disc sounds perfectly post-classical, and the more refreshing because it isn't dragging along any diehard modernist assumptions. Thaemlitz uses heavily reverbed computerized piano to riff off of pieces by the techno group Kraftwerk; his whimsical tonal patterns hang in the silence, bouncing among recurring motives unpredictably, but with keen focus. Those are my favorites of what I've heard.... |
