Toeplitz: AMAS - which could be translated as accumulation,
heap, pile, maybe cluster, like the verb "to amass".
AMAS is one lengthy composition consisting of long
electronic parts; as described by Toeplitz, it is “a growing
organism: my idea when working on it was to take some ideas
from Don Buchla’s "philosophy" as a starting point - ideas
from the "West-Coast" school of music: in building the
"engines" which produce sounds, the shaping of the sounds is
rather made by modulations and adding harmonics (kind of
distortions) than the more "classical" (East-Coast) method
of using filtering. But the Buchla/West-Coast influence is
also on the structure of the music itself, the work
considered as a living organism rather than a strict
composition; or perhaps rather like a fixed time and a walk
with a given direction, but all the steps are not fixed.”
Kasper T. Toeplitz is a French composer and musician
of Polish origin, born in 1960. He lives in Paris. He has
worked with academic research organizations, such as GMEM,
GRM, IRCAM, and Radio-France, as well as with experimental
musicians, such as Éliane Radigue, Zbigniew Karkowski, Dror
Feiler, Tetsuo Furudate, Phill Niblock and Art Zoyd. Citing
Giacinto Scelsi and Iannis Xenakis as influences, his early
work was mostly written for traditional instruments. He
received several prizes and distinctions for these works:
1st prize in composition for orchestra at the festival of
Besançon, 1st prize in the Opéra Autrement/Acanthes
competition, Villa Médicis Hors-les-Murs in New York, prize
Léonard de Vinci in San Francisco, Villa Kujoyama in Kyoto,
and DAAD in Berlin. He has also written for his electric
guitar orchestra, Sleaze Art. He then integrated computers
into his work, via the programming language MAX.
