“Positionsâ€Â reviewed by Bad Alchemy
Musik wird meist als Kunst in der Zeit betrachtet, auch wenn manche sie ins Zeitlose zu dehnen versuchen und dann von ‘deep’ raunen oder von einem Theatre of Eternal Music. Wagner fand für das Zeitlose die Formel: Zum Raum wird hier die Zeit. Der Raum ist also mit im musikalischen Spiel, auch wenn die site-specific …

“Positions†reviewed by Blow Up
Compositore olandese di buone frequentazioni, Tellina in “Positions†scrive e fa interpretare suoi brani da una serie di musicisti: trombonisti e contrabbassisti ma ache il solo pubblico catturato mentre si muove e parla. Siamo a metà tra contemporanea ed elettroacustica, cose fatte con una certa eleganza e raffinatezza (strumenti soli in lente digressioni ambientali, mix …

Il compositore olandese Martijn Telling (Boca Raton, Zona Fumatori) pubblica il suo disco d’esordio, Positions, sulla portoghese Cronica. Una raccolta di cinque opere che mettono in evidenza l’attenzione di Telling per i riverberi naturali e la spazialità del suono. La prima taccia in scaletta, Three Modulators, for Trombones, rievoca gli studi di Stuart Dempster e …
“Positions†reviewed by Le Son du Grisli
Sur ces cinq pièces du compositeur Martijn Tellinga (enregistrées à différentes époques), c’est l’espace dans lequel se positionnent (positions obligent) les instrumentistes qui est inspecté, questionné et (même, ça arrive) lu… Si l’on peut craindre la collision pour ces trois trombones (Nathan Lane, Milton Rodriguez & Facundo Vacarezza) leur évolution dessine une chorégraphie de cornes …

“Modular Works 2015Q1†reviewed by Whisperinandhollerin
As the title suggests, the four compositions featured on this album came into being in the first three months of the year, and is a counterpart to last year’s series of ‘Modular Works 2014’ (Q1-4) releases. While the pieces may on the surface appear to be sparse, darkly atmospheric ambient works, there was a definite …

“Positions†reviewed by Vital Weekly
The press release for this is very lengthy, even when it doubles with information to be found on the cover of the CD. There is also some information on the composer, but it leaves out what I know him best for. I am sure for him that’s ancient (or perhaps irrelevant) history, but maybe it …

Trois trombones, trois contrebasses ou absence de musiciens, l’art du Néerlandais MARTIJN TELLINGA explore les possibles et l’au-delà sonore sur ‘Positions’ (Crónica). Ardue et enthousiaste, l’expérience acoustique inscrit pourtant sa première écoute dans une âpreté repoussante, elle s’estompe dès la seconde entame pour ne plus lâcher. Tout démarre avec l’extraordinaire pièce ‘Three Modulators, for trombones’, …

‘Positions’ finds Tellinga exploring space. Not outer space, but physical space, and the relationships between sounds when created within certain spaces. Yes, it’s all relative, and ‘Positions’ is concerned with the interactions of sound and performers, performers, sounds and audience or listener within the dimensional space of rooms. The way sounds resonate, reverberate or otherwise …
