Create
Eres Holz's music is often characterized by the examination of non -musical sources of inspiration, such as psychology and film : his composition LATAH (2006/07) was inspired by the study of the mental disorder Latah , which occurs in Malaysia, among others , White Wounds (2008) is based based on a text by the Belgian director Jan Fabre . Holz allows these extra-musical elements to collide with sometimes rigid internal-musical organizational principles that he developed with the help of algorithmic composition models. In addition, Holz repeatedly incorporates electronic sounds into his compositions.
criticism
“The music of the native Israeli Eres Holz, a former student of Hanspeter Kyburz , is one of the most exciting discoveries that one could make at Ultrasound Berlin . Wood looks for a harmonious commitment beyond the major-minor tonality. The ensemble work Kataklothes by Eres Holz exposes a chain of chords, the progression of which appears peculiarly logical and open at the same time: just like the thread of life that the ancient Greek moiras - to which the title alludes - spin. The result is an enormously colorful and plastic music, which makes harmony tangible as a constantly changing phenomenon, as something that is not static, but rather flexible. "
"Holz does not want to develop a deceptive paradise in his music, but rather raise questions about fears and existential situations."
“His goal is to reach the emotional core of his listeners. Wood uses non-tonal sounds and micro-tones, but his music is not abstract, it has an existential effect and reaches deep into areas of the soul. "
“The quintet (2009) by Eres Holz presents itself as an almost dignified, elaborate ensemble piece with complex voice movements that merge in color and then drift apart again. Significantly more extroverted: Kataklothes (2015), which expresses states of tumultuous chaos with shrill expressiveness and screaming, garish colors. A very intense piece with a lot of percussion, dissonant condensation and folk music values, as if the goddesses of fate from ancient mythology were pulling the strings here "
“[...] It is oppressive to encounter the ensemble piece Kataklothes by Eres Holz after this 'somersault into the past', an Israeli composer who has“ returned ”to Germany and whose ancestors include Polish victims of the Holocaust . For Holz, 'connecting threads' according to the goddesses of fate in Greek mythology are an essential source of inspiration for an overwhelmingly colorful music that introduces and loosens developments in an organic flow. "
“In compositions like the quintet (2009) or the ensemble piece Kataklothes (2015), Holz tries to catch up with musical tradition from a point of view of technical advancement: tonal gravity without tonality.
With Allen Ginsberg's great Kaddish poem, he chose a text that is clearly in conflict with religious tradition. The dubious, scrupulous search movement in the 'labyrinth of identity' that Eres Holz eavesdropping on the text may also drive his own work. "
