ABOUT THE PIECE:
DIFFERENT ZONES by DON LI for JOJO MAYER & JACK QUARTET
Commissioned by the Lucerne Festival 2019, Don Li’s composition is based
on a quote made by Jojo Mayer in a RU-vid interview: The drummer talks
about the relationship between repetition and groove and how their effect
induces a different state of mind (»different zones«). Rhythmical speech
pattern and melody of his quote form the basic template of the one hour-long
composition. Instead of exploring extravagant playing techniques for string
quartet, Don Li focuses on block chords: Dark, perpetual and driven by
hypnotic odd meters, they open the gateway to the »different zones«. This
visually striking synopsis of the work offers a glimpse at this extraordinary
collaboration.
Composition, Concept, Stage Design: Don Li
Drums, Voice: Jojo Mayer
