About the album

Every one of us lives with a tonal system in our head. The diatonic-chromatic- enharmonic system that has long dominated Western music was codified at an early stage through the use of notation. Later, around the beginning of the 17th century, major/minor tonality superseded the old church modes and has influ- enced our perceptions of harmony ever since. These perceptions are, however, constantly evolving. When blues, jazz, and other forms of African-American music brought the first “blue notes” to Europe in the early 20th century, they created quite a stir, because neither their pitch nor their harmonic function fit into the conventional tonal system. Our musical sensibilities are nonetheless learned, not innate. Even if we do not understand music theory, we feel the way the dominant resolves to the tonic; we sense whether chords are more conso- nant or dissonant. We find our ability to remember melodies that conform to our tonal system self-evident, but are astonished when people from other cultures do the same with their own music. An example would be the melodies with “notes in between” in Arabic music, where for centuries the octave has been divided into more than our usual 12 half steps, with additional quarter-tone, three-quarter-tone, and five-quarter-tone intervals.

Ensemble and duos with Reiner Winterschladen and Toumani Diabaté. Lüdemann’s music is recorded on more than 20 CDs, among them “Aphorisms” (1991), “the natural piano” (1995), “Futurism” (1998), “Touching Africa” (2006), “Between the Keys” (2009) and the CD box “die kunst des trios”. He is a regular guest on international concert stages, clubs and festivals. As a composer, Lüdemann has written a body of works from solo to orchestral music. From 2003 to 2007 he was a member of the federal composition jury for the Villa Massimo. Lüdemann was a lecturer at the Cologne Musikhochschule from 1993 to 2008 and has taught at the European Academy of Montepulciano/Italy between 2001 and 2007. In 2009/10 and 2015/16 he was Cornell Visiting Professor at the Swarthmore College/USA.
Aly Keïta (b. 1969) is an Ivorian balaphone player whose family had been musicians for generations. He spent his childhood in Abidjan and Mali, where Keïta learned to play a traditional pentatonic balaphone. His teacher was Zouratié Coulibaly. In 1986 he met Georges Makinto, who encouraged him to play jazz music. Keita, who creates all instruments by himself, developed his own diatonic balaphone, which opened up new possibilities and styles. His performance is characterized by a refined taste and the absolute balance between tradition and modernism, perfection and authenticity, with his audience being infected directly by his enthusiasm. Keïta has performed with internationally renowned artists such as Pharaoh Sanders, Amadou & Mariam, Trilok Gurtu, Lukas Ligeti, Rokia Traoré, Joe Zawinul, Gilles Renne, Philippe Sellam, Linley Marte, Hans Lüdemann and Steve Argüelles.
