about

DELL - LILLINGER - WESTERGAARD presents BEATS II

Grid, complexity, rough, morphing, diagrammatic and multiperspective work on the beat itself played, constructed and deconstructed in real time.

BEATS II is the fourth album made by composer trio Dell-Lillinger-Westergaard(DLW). The recording is manifests the continuation of a research that began with GRAMMAR,
GRAMMAR II and BEATS. Within this ongoing work two complementary approaches have been distinguished, manifesting themselves in a serial manner. “While the GRAMMAR series derives from the construction of larger forms, through the use of minimal structures, the musical research exercised in the BEATS-series fragments a larger superstructure into minimal entities that are then worked through, in processes of iteration and reconfiguration”, Christopher Dell explains.
Dealing with multiperspectivity and multidimensionality DLW colors the grid and its infinite variance.
The different element colors stand for the variety of multiple audible relationships of tonal structures and their respective sound qualities.
„Forcefully physical and forever in flux the trio's music is a bit like Brutalist architecture translated into music“. DownBeat Magazine.

Lehman's most emotional and most beautiful album to date. This album manages to be complex and extremely interesting to listen to while also feeling like a strong expression of emotion. Lehman's trio is incredible as usual, and they synergize perfectly with Craig Taborn. rat
