SYNOPSIS

As the title says, Ulrich Mitzlaff’ s new album “Soliloque Sonore” contains two pieces that are to be seen as two sonar soliloquies of a musician who normally is focused to play on live events with other musicians under the concept of composition in time real and free improvisation.

As live-events and rehearsals are not possible in these times of pandemic confinement, the two pieces “Discours Imaginaire # 1” and “Discours Imaginaire # 2” appeared as imagined conversations but ambiguous - are they improvised, are they composed? The pieces express the need for musical interaction “face to face” – in the “here and now”.

Faced with the preconditions imposed, all the sound sources that are used by Ulrich Mitzlaff, such as the violoncello, the voice, the sounds of shoes and the china type cymbal, substitute other absent but imaginary players. The compositions were made with the recorded material, and they result as inventions and sublimation of desired but impossible real encounters.

Even with the situation of confinement and despite the limiting conditions, the two pieces of “Soliloque Sonore”, created with the concept of free improvisation and instant composition, demonstrate a great proximity to the so called “Contemporary European Exploratory Music”. The musical expressions do not happen at the same synchronous moment, but as a sequence of steps where the next possible is imagined.
