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!
2002 the Festival für new music "Klangspuren Schwarz" commissioned a composition for cither solo. Because the premiere was more then frustrating Christof Dienz decided to play the zither by himself. And so he started with a Loopgenerator and different tools (eg office clips, tuning forks, woodensticks....) playing solo concerts and performances with different arists - together with Marc Ribot, DJ DSL, Rupert Huber, Zeena Parkins, Hannes Strobl, Christian Martinek, Wolfgang Puschnig, Hubl Greiner, Lorenz Raab and many more.
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.
