In a recent interview, Dullsky explained the interplay between file swapping and improvisation as follows. He tried defining a balance between the limits of prerecorded sounds and the limitless choices of absolute, aimless freedom. Somewhere in between lies creativity: "When it comes to improvisation, this is what I do... The first things to consider are the given circumstances. It's a bit like an actor trying to relive something with his [boundless] heart, albeit inside the limits of the stage. He tries both to relive his character's experience and to allow it 'through' him. In the same way - in those same circumstances of an amorphous [yet restrictive] room - you've got to hunt down the main thing. It's what people sometimes call 'liberty'. The driving force behind this project was something similar; we were looking both for stimuli and for reactions to them. If you spend most of your time with a musical instrument in your hands, then a musical syntax, a harmony-based view of the world in all its depth and spatial modes will come together. What I mean is... there's no need for [desperately-sought] originality... Originality is something you simply cannot avoid!" http://www.last.fm/music/Quest.Room.Project http://www.last.fm/music/Bogdan+Dullsky http://www.myspace.com/bogdandullsky http://dullsky.wordpress.com Labels: David MacFadyen, Interview |
