Product details
German: distanz = distance / tanz = dance.
dis = Latin prefix variously implying separation/negation/deprivation/thoroughness.
Although quite precisely constructed DisTanz will, in some regards at least, be somewhat loosely realised. It is scored for an assortment of so-called un-pitched percussion that is more allied to an industrial sound world than any other, being predominantly a mixture of metals and woods that will of necessity vary with what is available and/or can be begged, borrowed, or bought. Although these instruments are [mostly] called for in fours, there is quite deliberately no master plan to dictate that, e.g. Steel Bowl 1 is pitched between Bottles 1 & 2, and the result may differ widely from one performance to the next.
The ideal set-up calls for the performers to surround the audience. This is also flexible given conducting considerations and the physical limitations of any given venue, and will likewise influence any individual performance.
