Robert Dick / Ursel Schlicht: THE GALILEAN MOONS

Robert Dick - flutes

Ursel Schlicht - piano

 

The four-movement suite co-composed by Robert Dick and pianist Ursel Schlicht evokes,

at times viscerally, the distinct physical environments found on each of Jupiter’s four moons.

The five other works on this album assay a tremendously wide sonic and emotional vocabulary. 

(Andrew Timar - theWholeNOTE, Sept. 2016)

Robert Dick / Ursel Schlicht: PHOTOSPHERE

Robert Dick - flutes

Ursel Schlicht - piano

 

"Photosphere, five pieces recorded live in 2004 at Kulturhaus Dock 4 in Kassel, Germany, finds Schlicht with another strong musician in flutist Robert Dick. A master of circular breathing, vocalizing and overtones, Dick’s extension of the flute has been compared to Paganini and Hendrix. Throughout the CD flute and piano chase, question and challenge each other, creating unusual tones and sonic worlds." (F.Wetzel, All About Jazz)

Ursel Schlicht / Bruce Arnold: STRING THEORY

Ursel Schlicht - piano & prepared piano

Bruce Arnold - guitar & supercollider

“She has issued a wonderfully listenable, yet daringly exploratory disc with guitarist Bruce Arnold. (...) The session sounds like an effort to seek every corner of modern musical expression without ever resorting to comfortable pop forms. (...) Highly enjoyable music that invites repeated plays.” (T.Cumbie, allaboutjazz)        >>> more info
