DIENZ ZITHERED
Vienna based musician and composer CHRISTOF DIENZ
(“Die Knödel”) steps with his new project into new musical
dimensions. With an old traditional austrian instrument,
the zither (remember the theme of Harry Lime
out of the Third Man Soundtrack!), he beats new strings!
He uses 100 % analogoue, acoustic tools like officeclips,
wooden sticks, tuneforks, plectrons etc and creates complex rhythmic
soundfields, which are close to electronic music.
Further he uses a loop-generator, which allows him a orchestral
work with the zither, loop by loop, field after field.
The Live Project:
Christof Dienz performes solo with the zither, the loopgenerator
and a guitar amplifier.
To extend this performance several variations are possible:
- with band
- with dj
- with special developed light design by Pepi Öttl
