Maximalist! / Ictus plays Thierry De Mey & Peter Vermeersch
(double bill, part 1)
The music for Rosas danst Rosas was composed in 1983 by Thierry De Mey and Peter Vermeersch, who shortly afterwards founded the sextet Maximalist!. The turbulent history of this sextet later gave rise to the Ictus ensemble in 1994. Maximalist! took on the torch created by the group de Volharding, founded in 1972 by Louis Andriessen and Willem Breuker: a European neo-minimalism, more aggressive and ‘hotter’ than American repetitive music. Thierry De Mey and Peter Vermeersch brought their own particular flavour to the group: the former with his taste for formalist procedures inspired by Ars Nova, the latter with his affinity for rock and surrealist jazz, from Carla Bley to Frank Zappa.

These two multifaceted talents, so different yet complementary, co-composed Rosas danst Rosas and Contre-Six ‘using four hands’, a very rare phenomenon in the history of written music. One cannot help but think of the famous preface to A Thousand Plateaus by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari: "Since each of us was several, there was already quite a crowd"! These are two masterpieces of energy, swing and melodic inventiveness, with a beauty of texture that rivals that of Steve Reich. They have not aged a bit, as they bear witness to a particular moment in time, that of the collective and feverish invention of the ‘Flemish Wave’.
Parallels by Tristan Perich’s / Ictus
(double bill, part 2)
(double bill, part 2)
Tristan Perich's music always combines acoustic instruments and 1-bit microprocessors played through small individual speakers. The radical nature of his approach seems to want to reconnect with the spirit of 1960s Minimal Art, at a time when so many so-called “minimalists” are tempted by cheap religiosity. And Perich isn't really that cold: there's also something adolescent about his 1-bit electronics, a tenderness for glitchy machines that's almost reminiscent of Steven Spielberg.
Parallels is a negotiation between material simplicity and cognitive complexity, in the dazzling light of the rhythmic textures of tuned triangles and hi-hats.
