    DELL LILLINGER WESTERGAARD

    BEATS
    Release: 29 January 2021 on PLAIST (EDEL)
    Grid, Complex, Rough, Morph, Multidimensional Beats
    Played, Constructed and Deconstructed in Real Time by
    DELL, LILLINGER WESTERGAARD A Beat-Structure Work!

    BEATS is the third album by Dell, Lillinger, Westergaard. The


    recording is the continuation of the research by DLW that
    started with GRAMMAR and GRAMMAR II released last year.
    Contrary to its predecessors BEATS operates in reverse order:
    “While the former publications derived from the construction
    of larger forms through the use of minimal structures, the
    musical research exercised in BEATS fragments a larger
    superstructure into minimal entities that are then worked
    through in processes of iteration and reconfiguration”, explains
    Christopher Dell.

    Grid, Complex, Rough, Morphed, Multidimensional Beats


    The focus lies on beat as an accentuated metric pulse. “Our aim was to highlight our structural
    research through beats within notated bars from different angles”, says Christian Lillinger. With
    this album, DLW present their very own take on putting different perspectives on beats as a
    subject matter at the centre. DLW are playing, constructing and re-constructing, complex, rough
    and morphed multidimensional grid beats all in real-time. Structural, highly complex, polyphone
    rhythms (parts) appear as sealed “beat” patterns. Through accent shifting they are reinterpreted
    and stretched as loops making the multi-dimensionality audible.

    Mindfully produced and created, the sound is three-dimensional, powerful and almost hyper-
    realistic. You can hear the musicians breathing amongst the sound of the instruments bringing
    the listener ever closer to the action. Christian Lillinger states: “Furthermore, we designed the
    sound in post-production - in real-time mind you – in such a way that extreme closeness and
    plasticity make the multi-dimensionality more tangible”.
    Re-Wiring, Re-Shuffling, Re-Assembling, Retroactive, Reverse Function, Open Form, Minimal
    Structure, Diagrammatic Play

    Everything was recorded in a single room in close proximity to each other allowing for an extremely
    direct and immediate communication. This also guaranteed that there were no latencies in the
    actions, reactions and the sound. “We used sampling during the recording process ourselves, so to
    speak”, as Christian Lillinger explains.

    Cut Up
    The album is presented as a “cut up“ with a harsh separation between each track, on purpose.
    Although they have been recorded in one flow, the tracks are meant to be conceived of as individual
    collages within the tradition of hip-hop sampling.

    About DELL LILLINGER WESTERGAARD (DLW)
    The trio DLW combines energetic playing with structural composition in real time. The
    interaction results in high energy that materializes in different layers of sounds, relationscapes.
    Form comes into being through musical production. Thereby, the trio transcends the usual
    dichotomy of rhythm section vs. solo player. Their recording “GRAMMAR“ (released on gligg-
    records) demonstrates the trio’s specific structural approach to form making in manifold
    perspectives. Other projects include the follow up recording “GRAMMAR II” (2019 on PLAIST),
    which examines structural framework as a set of strategic perspectives in music, as well as their
    collaboration with the pianist Tamara Stefanovitch (2020) and with electronic musician and
    producer Johannes Brecht as DBLW, which is documented in their release “BOULEZ
    MATERIALISM” from 2018 (PLAIST).
