trio der kinderspiel

Trio der Kinderspiel is embedded in a practice that prioritizes contemplative sonic autonomy over virtuosic individualistic gesture. TdK deconstructs notions of percussive noise through accentuation of sounds abstracted to their independent elements and their resultant amalgamation when sounded or silent in resonant spaces.

TdK creates aggregate percussion instruments by utilizing objects such as drums, wood, and porcelain sheets as amplifiers for seemingly inconspicuous actions generated by friction, gravity, and collision. In executing this music, continual observations of a sound’s noisiness, grain, and pitch spectra provide the group with tactile intentionality during free improvisations. TdK operates as an atmosphere by allowing the weather to change through clear-cut decisions that create a soft complexity through which sounds can thrive.

TdK is Justin Greene, Austin Lemmons, and Aaron Levy.
