about

deutsch:

STRUCTUCTURE vereint vier Individuen, die ihre verschiedenen Stärken und Schwächen, ihre einzigartigen Stimmen und Persönlichkeiten in die Band einbringen. Gemeinsam finden sie einen Ausdruck ihrer eigenen Vorstellung von schöner und bedeutungsvoller Musik.

In ihrer Musik begibt sich STRUCTUCTURE auf eine Reise, die zwischen Momenten intensiver Energie und Perioden kontemplativer Stille hin und her schwingt. Es ist eine Reise, die durch das emphatische Zusammenspiel aller vier Musiker geleitet wird, die auf eine Weise miteinander interagieren, die von Vertrauen, Kontrolle und Impulsivität zugleich geprägt ist.

Um traditionelle Strukturen herauszufordern und die Grenzen von Rhythmus und Harmonie auszuloten, verändert die Band kontinuierlich die Rollen der einzelnen Instrumente, spielt mit verschiedenen koexistierenden Ebenen, doch gibt es keinen Vordergrund, keinen Hintergrund. Sie erschaffen eine ineinander greifende Einheit, die mit einer unbeugsamen Energie pulsiert, sanft und melodisch dahingleitet oder verfällt und ihre Zerbrechlichkeit zeigt.

Die Kompositionen von Roger Kintopf sind das Rückgrat des Bandsounds. Sie sind präzise, dennoch flexibel und bieten eine Grundlage, auf der die Band die Möglichkeiten erforschen kann, ihren Klang als eine sich ständig bewegende Einheit weiterzuentwickeln.
 
presse:

(..) Dazu braucht es ebenso feste, wie offene Strukturen, die das Beste aus jedem der vier hervorkitzeln. Die Krux des ständigen Wechsels zwischen schnellen Impulsen und Ruhephasen liegt darin, nicht allzu intellektuell, zu „kopfig“ zu klingen. Das gelingt Kintopf und Co. erstaunlich gut (...). – Jazz Thing

Ihr entwickeltes Spezifikum sind melodische Wucherungen und Gratwanderungen, Dabei pendelt das Quartett zwischen hitziger Gesprächigkeit und entschleunigter, teppichaper Ausbreitung. Bemerkenswertes Selbstverständnis kennzeichnet die Vernetzung von kompositorischem Kalkül und improvisatorischem Freilauf. – Concerto Austria

english:

STRUCTUCTURE unites four individuals, who each bring their own strengths and weaknesses, their own unique voice, and their own personality to the band, yet together they find an expression of their own idea of beautiful and meaningful music.

Through their music, STRUCTUCTURE creates a journey that ebbs and flows, shifting between moments of intense energy and periods of contemplative silence. It is a journey that is guided by the skillful interplay of all four musicians, who interact with one another in a way that is at once controlled and impulsive, but always filled with trust.

Challenging traditional structures and pushing the boundaries of rhythm and harmony, the band alters the roles of the individual instruments continuously, and even though they play with many layers, which exist simultaneously, there is no foreground, no background. They create an interlocked unit that may pulse with an unyielding energy, float gently and melodiously, or decay and show their fragility.

Roger Kintopf's compositions are the backbone of the band's sound. They are precise, yet flexible, providing a foundation upon which the band can explore the possibilities of evolving their sound as a constantly moving entity.
 
press:

Their developed specifics are melodic proliferations and tightrope walks. In doing so, the quartet oscillates between heated talkativeness and decelerated, elegant expansion. Remarkable self-conception characterises the interconnectedness of compositional calculation and improvisational free-wheeling. - Concerto Austria
