David Sylvian
first collaborated with American poet Franz Wright's voice in the
Kilowatt Hour live project with Christian Fennesz and Stephan Mathieu.
On There's a Light That Enters Houses with No Other House in Sight, the
writer appears again, but in an almost entirely different musical
context. Fennesz returns and pianist John Tilbury, Otomo Yoshide, and
Toshimaru Nakamura provide significant assistance. A single 64-minute
work, Sylvian's composition features the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet
reading from his collection of prose poems Kindertotenwald. (It
literally translates as "Children Dead Forest," yet given Wright's
well-documented volunteer work with children stricken by grief,
"Children of the Dead Forest" might be more appropriate.)
The music is
more abstract than Manafon. In places it recalls something approaching
chamber music, but the editing and remixing put it in a thoroughly
electro-acoustic context beyond that boundary. If there is a ground
here, it is Wright's voice: a weathered, weary, wheeze from his lungs
(he has been struggling with cancer for years), yet wry, unsentimental,
and unforgiving in his refusal to take life, circumstance, or himself
too seriously, even when reflecting on his own mortality, grief, loss,
or human failings. There is humor even in the blackest of situations
("....I guess I’d describe myself as a fairly good egg in hot water…").
That said, this is a demanding listen, not so much for its length, but
for Sylvian's restless and yet deeply intimate, labyrinthine
compositional architecture. It wanders and moves afield albeit
strategically, returning to schemes and themes that emerge slowly but
often unexpectedly. Tilbury's piano introduces sections with spectral
and repetitive chord voicings and variations. There are nearly constant
edits, glitches, delays, and counter edits. Fennesz's guitar offers his
trademark, unhurried, drifting, sometimes briefly jarring interludes as
laptop noise; echo, woodwinds, and even strings move through with nearly
translucent passes adding texture and detail. Treatments are made to
Wright's voice in places, creating after-syllable stutters and glitches,
but his poems are offered in their entirety. His delivery recalls
events and imparts insights as if they had been gleaned only ten minutes
ago, though they've been trying to reveal themselves for decades.
Sylvian bends the expanding and contracting corridors of sound to the
nuances in speech. One is drawn, Möbius-like, into Wright's words amid a
musical, sometimes ambient sea of sound with arrivals, departures, and
eternal returns. While some might find There's a Light That Enters
Houses with No Other House in Sight difficult on the first listen or
two, it should resonate with anyone who engages in it sincerely.
Sylvian's goal in this collaboration was to celebrate and sonically
illustrate Wright. He does so with a provocative but understated sense
of adventure that grasps the poet's work correctly as equally welcoming
and mercurial. |
