Beatrice Dillon's latest work, 'Basho,' challenges conventional musical formats with its expansive and open-ended structure. Inspired by philosopher Kitaro Nishida, the piece embodies a philosophical concept of logic where diverse elements coexist without conventional resolution. Throughout the track, contrasting soundsâ from delicate organic textures to harsh industrial noiseâ interact in non-linear arrangements, evoking an evolving emotional landscape. This intentional juxtaposition creates moments of discord and unity, mirroring the complexities of experience, all while engaging listeners with its dynamic energy and innovative use of silence.
Dillon approaches 'Basho' like a jeweler, arranging dull and glistening sounds into complex strands and fastening them in place with silence.
The drama of 'Basho' is in hearing disparate parts linked together, yet only intermittently achieving a wonky kind of unity.
