Dsilton (AT)

From 6:45 to 7:30 pm, following the festival’s traditions, the members of Dsilton will hold an introductory discussion together with the evening’s curator, Samu Gryllus.

Dsilton is something you can not imagine unless you hear it. We are very happy to introduce the unique work of the trio in Budapest at the Transparent Sound New Music Festival. Dsilton´s musical realm can be identified by their rich sound coming from the use several magical subsets of the 31 tone equal temperament tuning system, the rhythmic language combining several complex grooving structures of meters and subdivisions, the compositional ideas of long melodies, fixed form and jazz based improvisations. But these are all only tools in the hands of the three musicians to create their own living musical language that we all must hear first.

The music of Dsilton consists of energetic arrangements in microtonal tunings with modulating rhythms. At Dsiltons current program, cycles of Georg Vogel & David Dornig are interlocked. Concerning the techniques of composition and the frames for improvisation all pieces share together complex grooves and the extended tonality of 31-tone tuning. The repertoire shows a range from enharmonically entangled improvisation forms, 31-tone serial compositions to arrangements of processed field recordings. This enharmonic microtonal journey is played on special instruments: newly built 31-tone keyboards called Clavitone, drumset and a new eight string electric guitar with 31 frets per octave.
