Patience and self-restraint
Sometimes improvised music suffers from what one could call ›Sturm und Drang‹ - the activism of those involved, their desire to put as much of what they have to say into the music as possible, with the affectivity of the now!, in order to establish their artistic identity in the group. This overloads the sound image and clogs up the mix. Economy is required, and above all the virtue that is the origin of mass: patience.
Daniel Dor's miniatures show a sherpa of self-restraint, who dabs where others pour out the cornucopia. From the immense palette that the basement drums offer him, he carefully picks out elements and presents them, as if he were inviting you on a tour through a pantheon of drum sounds. I hear idiomatic expressions, dialects, accentuations, timbres, and experience in spectral form how many stories can be told with this arsenal of sounds - in short, I hear the variety of contemporary percussion languages.
Daniel Dor is less concerned with bringing his music closer to me than with unfolding the stylistic possibilities that can be heard on an instrument of this size. It sounds like a dazzling Mandelbrot tree of phraseology, and it leads out into the Serengeti of contemporary playing techniques. And when the tuned toms begin to sing more and more in the fifth take over a groove that is as catchy as it is complicated, the rhythm is transcended into a hummable melody. Behind this aesthetic of restraint lies the selflessness of a virtuoso who does not want to show what he can do, but invites me to listen and explore.
Geduld und Selbstzurücknahme
Manchmal leidet die improvisierte Musik unter dem, was man ›Sturm und Drang‹ nennen könnte - dem Aktivismus der Beteiligten, ihrem Wunsch, mit der Affektivität des jetzt! Möglichst viel von dem in die Musik hineinzulegen, was sie zu sagen haben, um in der Gruppe ihre künstlerische Identität zu statuieren. So wird das Klangbild überladen und der Mix zugestopft. Sparsamkeit ist gefragt, und vor allem jene Tugend, die der Ursprung des Masses ist: die Geduld.Daniel Dors Miniaturen zeigen einen Sherpa der Selbstzurücknahme, der hintupft, wo andere das Füllhorn ausschütten. Aus der immensen Palette, die ihm das basement-Schlagzeug bietet, greift er behutsam Elemente heraus und stellt sie vor, als lade er zur Führung durch ein Pantheon der Schlagzeugklänge ein. Ich höre idiomatische Wendungen, Dialekte, Betonungen, Klangfarben, erfahre spektralförmig, wie viele Geschichten mit diesem Klänge-Arsenal zu erzählen sind - kurz: Ich höre die Vielfalt schlagzeugerischer Sprachen der Gegenwart.Dabei ist Daniel Dor weniger bemüht, mir seine Musik nahezubringen, als die Stilmöglichkeiten auszufalten, die auf einem Instrument dieser Grösse erklingen kann. Das hört sich an wie ein schillernder Mandelbrot-Baum der Phraseologie, und es führt hinaus in die Serengeti der Spieltechniken unserer Zeit. Und wenn im fünften Take die gestimmten Toms über einem so eingängigen wie vertrackten Groove mehr und mehr zu singen beginnen, ist das Rhythmische transzendiert zur summbaren Melodie. Hinter dieser Ästhetik der Zurücknahme steht die Selbstlosigkeit eines Virtuosen, der nicht zeigen will, was er kann, sondern mich einlädt, erkundend (mit-)zuhören.
