Tiento de las Nieves (CD)
Barcode: 4024572759421
Thomas Koner, explorer, multimedia artist, dark ambient pioneer. Over his long, much celebrated career, he has worked between audiovisual installation works, sound art, minimal soundscapes, and as one half of Porter Ricks.
Tiento is a form of keyboard music originating in Spain. In his past discography, Thomas Koner has mostly used the piano in a barely recognisable way. However, after a particular radical experience he found himself caught with the piano in his focus, with this rigid instrument which has been developed and solidified in the 17th century just to enslave composers and musicians for centuries to come. To escape and handle the rigidity of the piano, Koner uses his distinctive ansatz to understand music rather as something filling the space of the temporal dimension than as a succession of multi-layered sounds.
