Press clippings concerning the performance
of Logos at the Museum of applied Arts (MAK)
in Vienna, which was part of an installation and cd-recording by Thilges3.
THILGES 3: Mak
th306 | 3"CD
"Mak" is sourced from an installation that took place in Vienna
earlier this year. The piece was designed for two rooms; in one was the Austrian
Military Orchestra and The Goldberg Quartet performing composer Schindloffsky's
"Logos". As the musicians played, Thilges 3 reworked and remixed
them, sending the resulting mix through their quadrophonic PA to the second
room.
The second captures the string quartet, adding slight delay and
flange effects. Here the enhancement brings out wonderful overtones, creating
a much more dense yet ethereal performance.
From a purely auditory standpoint,
this is quite an impressive release and it's quite interesting to note that
one of the most forward thinking pieces of music.

In the second piece, in which Thilges 3 occupy a less intrusive space,
the string quartet is heard performing a beautiful piece by Schindloffsky
titled "Logos", a piece of melancholy and thoughtfulness.
and listening to this now I wish I could have experienced this performance
live. Fantastic work.

Sous un malstrom sonore incandescent, un déluge électronique
futuriste et vindicatif, les membres de Thilges 3 ont convié l'orchestre
militaire autrichien à contraster ce trop-plein d'électronique
en jouant une pièce d'Schindloffsky,
"Logos", oeuvre néo-classique proche de Gorecky (l'attaque
par nappes successives) ou des Rachel's. Un instant de raffinement enclavé,
qui évoque des images de détresse folle et de poésie
suspendue entre deux tirs d'artillerie.
Un aspect complémentaire
du travail de ces Autrichiens, décidément foutrement talentueux
et surprenants.
