Draksler, Kaja
In Otherness Oneself
In building this album pianist and composer Kaja Draksler worked on
developing specific musical languages for each piece. She attempted to
restrict herself to maintaining each language although as she points out
"leakages" did take place, and the pieces somehow ended up influencing
each other, as spoken languages do.
Kaja refers to voodoo as an inspiration. Her intention is to take possession
of the rhythm, pulse and melody and at the same time to allow the music
to take possession of her. In that way she is influencing the context but also
she lets the context have an influence on her. She is one of those musicians
who are able to work out the paradox of combining composition and open
improvisation sometimes within the same piece. Aware as she is that both
structure and freedom can be as much a burden as an asset, she uses those
parameters with brillance.
