Motus - Thomas Köner
Motus is more (to me) than just music made with analogue synthesizers,
it is about attitude, a way of relating to sound and the (e)motion it
affects.
A lifestyle, where movement, being moved and moving become one. My
practice is vibrational, about the skin, touch and surfaces and the
gaseous medium in between.
I dream of a dance floor where Motus would be enjoyed. What kind of
world, or rather, what kind of society would allow that? And when? Is
this futuristic? A situation-to-come, where the understanding of music
expands greatly, when blissful moments are independent of simple
melodies, where harmony appears beyond I-V-vi-IV chord progressions,
when the techniques of social alienation, which determine the use of all
the drugs that accompany recreational music, are reversed into creative
tools of exploration. ‘Motus’ is part of this exploration: to find
dance, free of clock, and groove, free of rhythm. There is pulsation,
and the downbeat connects to the downward beings as in stones and
minerals, the upbeat connects to the upward beings as in grasses,
flowers, trees and stars. Binding both together, connecting sky and
earth, is the dancer. The moves / the movement is pure. It is the kiss
of spirit and matter.(Thomas Köner)
