Jürg Frey / Quatuor Bozzini / Konus Quartett — Continuité Fragilité Résonance (Elsewhere)
Photo by Annette Boutellier
Continuité, fragilité, résonance by Jürg Frey (Quatuor Bozzini / Konus Quartett)
Sometimes a name is also an explanation, and so it is with Continuité Fragilité Résonance. The first word attests to the fact that the piece lasts 51 minutes without a break. The second admits that a listener’s engagement with the music is subject to interruption. The third acknowledges the vertical and spherical aspects of sound since in any moment, the phenomenon you hear might be experienced in ways that have nothing to do with the ongoing march of time, but might drop you into a layered experience or absorb you into an all-encompassing one.
Jürg Frey is part of the Wandelweiser Group, a community of composers and musicians who share a philosophy of taking sound and its counterpart, silence, seriously as essential parts of music and the listening experience. It’s a group of people who seek to understand essences, and then apply that understanding to what they do. If you aren’t aware of that philosophy going into your encounter with this album, don’t worry; the music will teach you what you need to know.
As long as we’re considering associations as engagement-facilitators, it’s worth noting that Continuité Fragilité Résonance was one of three records that Elsewhere released in the same month and which are united by their essential three-ness. While the other two, L’Occhio Del Vedere, by Giovanni Di Domenico, Silvia Tarozzi, and Emmanuel Holterback, and Circles, Reeds, and Memories, by Germaine Sijstermans, Koen Nutters, and Reinier van Houdt, were performed by three musicians each, this album was made by an octet performing another person’s music. But when one notes that the octet is actually composed of two very cohesive entities, the string quartet Quatuor Bozzini and the saxophone quartet Konus Quartett, and that the musicians had contact with Frey during the realization of this piece, its trio aspect takes shape.
Frey’s music is the sort for which the often-abused term, “deceptively simple,” should be reserved. The musicians’ parts, which comprise mostly long tones played at a relaxed pace aren’t that hard. But the mutual attunement necessary to achieve the right balance of sounds requires a cohesion that just can’t happen without investments both in the amount of time to figure out how to play the piece together, and then to sit with it long enough for the players’ collective consciousness to comfortably contain the music’s long form. Nearly a year passed between the first performance of the piece and its recording for this CD, and that time contributed to the integrity of its web of sounds and spaces. It takes a lot of attention and contemplation to get the elements in balance, both moment-to-moment and over the arc of 51 minutes.
A listener should come to this music prepared to have their sense of time gently but effectively disrupted. The titular Fragilité can manifest at any moment, as the listener’s ears grab ahold of a particular texture or quiet gesture and savor it, only to realize that the music has moved on while you have been lingering. So, you listen ahead, or listen more closely, effectively inhabiting varying combinations of past, present and future. Or maybe your experience will be completely different, but that’s a feature, not a bug, with music so matter-of-factly rich in just-rightness. Each sliding screen of string texture, each gleam of sounded brass, each intersection of sounds that merge and sounds that remain distinct, can be absorbed or fallen into depending on where you’re at in your relationship with the music and your own attention span.
