scores 2004 -
Composer and cellist Stefan Thut is interested in processes and scores that invite both the performers and the listeners to delve into a world. Through his compositions he provides relatively determined systems in order to develop a praxis. In addition to instruments applied in traditional ways, he also uses everyday materials as components in his work. As an interpreter he has performed a lot of music by his fellow and affiliated composers of the Edition Wandelweiser. Stations of his activities included Amsterdam, Bilbao, Düsseldorf, Helsinki, London, Reykjavik, Saint Petersburg, Seoul, Tokyo, Zurich and Solothurn where he runs his own concert series. Thut studied music at the Lucerne Conservatory and at Boston University School of Music.

Manfred Werder setzt seine langjährige Praxis des Lesens und Schreibens aus Texten der letzten 2800 Jahren fort. Die Partituren sind gefundene Formen: Träger geschnittener Wörter und Sätze als möglicher Aussagen einer Epoche. (Manfred Werder)
Eine Reihe von gestrichenen Klängen zu einem Stimmton, mit der eigenen Stimme vorzufabrizieren. Einbringen von ganzzahligen Verhältnissen im Gegensatz zu irgendwelchen. Ein sich Aufhalten im Instabilen, bedingt durch die Natur der zur Verfügung stehenden Körper. (Stefan Thut)

Léo Dupleix: sine waves
Fredrik Rasten: acoustic guitar
Stefan Thut: cello
a practice of noticing among others
The piece among is scored for three string players and sine waves which a fourth performer is responsible for. Aside of the usual purposes the three string instruments – in the present version a double bass, an acoustic guitar and a cello – also serve as resonating bodies for loudspeakers: the sine waves are sounding by means of transducers attached to the three wooden boxes. The instrumentalists attune initially to their respective sine wave, and then continue in ratios of imaginary odd-numbered partials up to the 17th. However, the frequencies of the three sine waves are multiples of either prime triplets or other prime numbers like for instance on page one – 23, 29 and 37. This kind of harmonic space is more obfuscating the process of tuning than making things harmonically comprehensible as a whole. In fact, to begin with the performer of sine waves, the acoustic conductor, divides the three instrumentalists into three individuals. They can only act in self-reliance to their own tone and with confidence to the others. Because of the very high order of the intervals occuring between the three, they mostly remain indefinable regarding specific tunings and open up a territory of the unknown. Still for me, the evolving harmonies appear as “just” due to the thoughtfulness and dignity of the ensemble. Here it is not a matter of tuning to each other (as it is the case in a majority of music practices) but noticing among each other in playing some tones: an actual model for a co-existence.

cassette release on noticerecordings, portland, US
recorded in 2015 by Seth Cooke, bristol, UK
This version of ‘aussen raum’ – a realisation of Stefan Thut’s text-based score – uses recordings and non-recordings of an oft-ridiculed water feature built atop and supposedly symbolising the redirected and culverted River Frome beneath Bristol’s Harbourside. This botched and banal public art is the centrepiece of a perpetually contested inner-city site in flux over seven centuries. The recording was made in 2015, and the location is being remodelled yet again at the time of writing in 2017.Partially inspired by Bristolian artist Richard Long’s 1967 work ‘A Line Made by Walking’, the piece involved repeatedly treading a single straight path through the fountains and the cascade. Recordings of four of these tracings are presented in this release. It comments on trends and superstitions in field recording – relating to water, human activity positioned in opposition to the ‘natural’, and assumptions about the capability of sound to represent ‘place’.

intervention within the installation 'Rhythms of Presence' by Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec
at errant bodies project space, berlin
four and one (2015)
Thut’s intervening activities within Tao Vrhovec Sambolec’s installation at Errant Bodies Project Space Berlin involve recording, playback and walking inside the gallery space, mirroring inherent themes of the installation itself. Each one of four sectors of the space is recorded through the resonance of an acoustic instrument evoked by the ‚Rhythms Of Presence’. The recordings obtained are played back at four positions via plates of cardboard. The performing activity is to turn the devices on and off resp. to set them into a state of ‚0‘ resp. ‚1‘. Going from one position to the other equals the change from one state to another within a 4-digit gray-code arranged on a so-called ‚Karnaugh-map‘, a complete cycle encompassing 16 states. The cadence regarding the change within the pattern is reciprocally dependent on the uncontrollable ‚Rhythms Of Presence‘: in reality Thut’s activity is controlled by the unknown passersby. The secondary sound-installation is driven by and derived from the primary setting at Errant Bodies Project Space echoing previous moments in time and producing a bodily inhabitation/intervention.

Radu Malfatti: bass mouthorgan
Stefan Thut: recording / diffusion
For ‚two (performers) and four (playback devices)’ implements a recording session into the actual moment of the performance. The interdependent setting of an instrumentalist and its recordist is the point of departure for the piece. Every instrumental sound is taken as a single incident, being recorded and spatialized thereafter. The quadrupel playback system enables to distribute the sound events in both time and space available. Linear succession of events is gradually expanded to that of a superimposition of events as a concretization of mental processes during the act of listening.

"Only after listening to the recording I realized that the environmental sound gets a new function here: we needed the sound around us in order to not hear ourselves. It is not really about making the environment audible any more. It is much more something about the two of us being placed into this situation."
(ST)
"It is, again, actually new listening experience for me. Two mikes share some environmental aspects of the space, but not our activities. Your activities are captured by only one mike and my activities are by the other. Nevertheless, though only a few times, I hear the sounds of two instruments as if they are blended, which I think occurs in my brain."

aussen raum
cassette release on noticerecordings, portland, US
recorded in 2015 by Seth Cooke, bristol, UK
This version of ‘aussen raum’ – a realisation of Stefan Thut’s text-based score – uses recordings and non-recordings of an oft-ridiculed water feature built atop and supposedly symbolising the redirected and culverted River Frome beneath Bristol’s Harbourside. This botched and banal public art is the centrepiece of a perpetually contested inner-city site in flux over seven centuries. The recording was made in 2015, and the location is being remodelled yet again at the time of writing in 2017.Partially inspired by Bristolian artist Richard Long’s 1967 work ‘A Line Made by Walking’, the piece involved repeatedly treading a single straight path through the fountains and the cascade. Recordings of four of these tracings are presented in this release. It comments on trends and superstitions in field recording – relating to water, human activity positioned in opposition to the ‘natural’, and assumptions about the capability of sound to represent ‘place’.

intervention within the installation 'Rhythms of Presence' by Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec
at errant bodies project space, berlin
four and one (2015)
Thut’s intervening activities within Tao Vrhovec Sambolec’s installation at Errant Bodies Project Space Berlin involve recording, playback and walking inside the gallery space, mirroring inherent themes of the installation itself. Each one of four sectors of the space is recorded through the resonance of an acoustic instrument evoked by the ‚Rhythms Of Presence’. The recordings obtained are played back at four positions via plates of cardboard. The performing activity is to turn the devices on and off resp. to set them into a state of ‚0‘ resp. ‚1‘. Going from one position to the other equals the change from one state to another within a 4-digit gray-code arranged on a so-called ‚Karnaugh-map‘, a complete cycle encompassing 16 states. The cadence regarding the change within the pattern is reciprocally dependent on the uncontrollable ‚Rhythms Of Presence‘: in reality Thut’s activity is controlled by the unknown passersby. The secondary sound-installation is driven by and derived from the primary setting at Errant Bodies Project Space echoing previous moments in time and producing a bodily inhabitation/intervention.

Stefan Thut: recording / diffusion
For ‚two (performers) and four (playback devices)’ implements a recording session into the actual moment of the performance. The interdependent setting of an instrumentalist and its recordist is the point of departure for the piece. Every instrumental sound is taken as a single incident, being recorded and spatialized thereafter. The quadrupel playback system enables to distribute the sound events in both time and space available. Linear succession of events is gradually expanded to that of a superimposition of events as a concretization of mental processes during the act of listening.

STEFAN THUT, Komponist & Cellist in Solothurn, und Johny Chang, Komponist & Geiger in Berlin, spielen Two Strings and Boxes (Flexion Records, flex_005) von Thut. Allerdings erklingen dabei nicht ihre gelernten Instrumente, sondern Zither & Object. Ohne Sicht auf das Geschehen, wie es sich am 4. Juni 2012 in der Reithalle Solothurn abspielte, sondieren die Ohren den Hörraum, um ein Schaben, Wischen oder Zittern zu erhaschen, das sich von dem unterscheidet, was man Stille nennt. Thut und Chang sind ebenfalls Mitglieder der Künstlergruppe Wandelweiser, die vor allem Zweierlei eint: Kleinerenteils die aufgehobene Arbeitsteilung zwischen Komponisten und Interpreten. Größerenteils Cage und Wolff verpflichtete Vorlieben für reduzierte, 'stille' und sublime Musiken, auch wenn Michael Pisaro betont, dass 'Wandelweiser' nicht für einen Stil steht. Nicht zufällig ist Radu Malfatti einer von ihnen und zugleich ein Bindeglied zu improvisatorischen Parallelaktionen. Wie beim japanischen Onkyo und den Ästhetiken, wie sie favorisiert werden von Labels wie Erstwhile, Non Visual Objects oder Another Timbre, das die Hochzeit von Indeterminacy und Improvisation mit der 6 x CD-Box Wandelweiser und so weiter feierte, wird der Klang reduziert, verkleinert oder abgeflacht, entsprechend Keith Rowes von fernöstlichen Vorstellungen mitbestimmten 'Ästhetik des Flachen'. Bei Thut ist die Reduktion, man könnte auch sagen: das Wachsen der Stille, besonders extrem. Der Klang abgenagt wie ein blanker Knochen. Schablaute, die wie geblasen, wie gehaucht klingen, wenn es da was zum Blasen gäbe. Dazu fein dröhnende Haltetöne. Ein Feld, das nur von Luft berührt, magnetisiert oder elektrifiziert wird. Bei geschlossenen Lidern erscheint ein Nichtort, ein 'anderer', von menschlichem Wollen und Machen und sogar von Raum und Zeit noch unbestimmter, nur gehegter 'weißer' Fleck. Vielleicht.

stefan thut am wind
recorded in april and may 2010
taku unami +-50
performed by taku unami, sine waves and stefan thut, cello
from richard pinnell's review:
What I assume to be the score to am wind is printed onto a beautiful little letterpress card tucked inside the tape’s sleeve. The simple, poetic text score is as follows;
at night
somewhere
close to the wind
somewhere
close to the wind
(as a field recording: unprocessed)
For this particular realisation of the work Thut has placed a microphone in a position to catch the wind, and has then set the recording down as follows:
am wind 17:00
silence 1:32
am wind 17:00
silence 1:32
silence 1:32
am wind 17:00
silence 1:32
So we have a seventeen minute field recording, a break and then another recording of the same length, followed by a contemplative silence and then the end. Its hard to know if there is a purpose for this work other than to create something quite remarkably beautiful, but certainly this much has been achieved. Thut has placed a microphone or two in an urban sight during high winds. For the first part we hear the rush of the wind, strong, picking up even further into billows here and there, I think blowing through trees, maybe in a park or something similar as the song of a few hardy birds can be heard buried amongst it all. Every so often other sounds impact the recording, a distant hum of traffic, other, closer vehicles, the occasional car door closing, dogs barking, and at one point a loud overhead aircraft, the dull roar of which blended beautifully with the wind.
The silence comes with a jolt, and we have time to reset our ears before the next windy recording, this time less dense, with what sounds like a sheet of microphone gain hissing thinly on top of everything. The recording this time may not be out of doors, but somewhere quieter. The wind sound smote muffled, and while external sounds can be heard- more aircraft, maybe even a train, they are buried deeper and it is harder to tell them apart from the sound of the wind. This piece of music is really lovely, the kind of thing I can happily play all day, though being a tape, to listen to it several times in succession as I like to do when reviewing means rewinding it each time. I can’t just press Play again… Thut is one of the most interesting of the newer names working in this area of composition right now. His scores are usually quite beautiful works in themselves, but here the realisation is also a thing of great beauty- a thoughtful and calming work indeed. URL

from adrian dziewanski's review:
"What we call the sound of rain or wind we could better call the sound of plant leaves and branches." – Francisco Lopez.
It wasn't long ago that I came across this quote by Lopez, and I find I'm often bringing it to the fore of my mind when listening and critiquing. It is easy to forget that the sound of rain, wind or snow are directly dictated by the objects and surfaces they strike, and where one may be actively listening in that given space. In relation to Stefan Thut's "am wind" recording, it makes me think of all the possible outcomes of this piece, all the millions of variations that could have surfaced given countless factors, and it makes me realize that it's not about trying to record wind, that's impossible. It's about recording a location that is being activated by wind, and thus dictates that no two recordings of the same weather process can stand alike.
The first of Thut's two wind recordings is a particularly good representation of the sound of low to high velocity winds, while the second is far more settled, with intermittent bursts carrying the sounds of creaking fences in their wake. Wind recordings are hard to do, and Thut does a good job at it, a fine example of the unprocessed field work that Winds Measure goes above and beyond to endorse. URL

stefan thut - an ort, 1-9 (2009)
audio extract
photograph taken on october 24th 2009 at the site of recording the piece
The score ‚an ort, 1-9’ refers to the activity of recording sounds outdoors. The repetitive action of recording at one place reflects aspects of infinite appearances of a place. The score suggests a practice performed over the course of a year while the geographic location remains unchanged for the duration of the procedure. From several sound recordings nine segments – equal in their length – are to be stringed together accomplishing the piece in its full length.
Aside of indications about time and place the score provides determining factors such as duration and the number of segments. After having achieved the recordings the exact beginnings and endings will result from a selecting process which is not predetermined in the score. This opens up for further decisions about the outcome of the piece. To choose a uncut segment implies an affirmative approach towards that which occurs in terms of sound. innen raum, 1-20 (2009)recorded on september 21, 9am - september 22, 9am in 2009
