It is the nearly tangible manifestation of what interaction as a group can mean, an exploration that combines and distills the individual musical experiences and qualities of the band members into a new and unmistakable essence. <\/p>\n<p>Beginning from the first downbeat, the monolith juxtaposes three metrical structures of 13,14 and 29, creating one cycle lasting 58:39 minutes, on the last beat of which they all converge. Based on the same tempo and rooted in a precise metrical construct, the music reveals an intrinsic ability to flow freely within its strict framework. <\/p>\n<p>The vision of the four musicians with their unique blend of instruments was to combine initially collectively improvised sections into a clear and well-balanced composition. Separate phrases are woven together and allowed to wander from one instrument to another, letting them appear again and again in new timbres and contexts. <\/p>\n<p>When seen from different perspectives, the monolith changes its appearance, yet it is still a single, indivisible unit. NEN carved and shaped the original recordings during the mixing process, unearthing a singular, inimitable band sound. Subtly directing the listeners focus to ever new depths of detail, thus allowing the monolith&#8217;s final crystalline shape to come to light.<br \/>Translation by Sabra Vidali  <i><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEN \u2013 Monolith I Ania Losinger \u2013 Xala III (electroacoustic sounding board played by dancing), effects Bj\u00f6rn Meyer \u2013 bass, effects \u0131 Mats Eser \u2013 fender rhodes, effects \u0131 Chrigel [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14642,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"project_category":[120],"project_tag":[],"class_list":["post-13398","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_category-current-productions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.anialosinger.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/13398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.anialosinger.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.anialosinger.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.anialosinger.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.anialosinger.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13398"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.anialosinger.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/13398\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.anialosinger.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.anialosinger.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.anialosinger.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_category?post=13398"},{"taxonomy":"project_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.anialosinger.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_tag?post=13398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
