Diphtongs Mühlbacher/Dafeldecker (1997) Im Vertrieb der EXTRAPLATTE Uli Fussenegger - bass Lars Lindvall - trumpet Radu Malfatti - trombone/zither Ernesto Molinari - clarinets Piguin Moschner - tuba Michael Moser - cello Christian Mühlbacher - percussion Max Nagl - altosaxophone Andi Schreiber - violin Burkhard Stangl - guitars "Christian Mühlbacher and Werner Dafeldecker asked improvisers to play one solo each. Out of those ten soli which were all played completely independently from each other the composers produced collages on the computer, the so-called "diphtongs". They selected, interrupted, thought, set different tunes together, decided on the dramaturgy, and thus formed pieces of music, Care and accuracy seem to have been the most important criteria. Each player is alloyed plenty of space, the subtle interplay between foreground and background characterizes the individual parts. To work with "material" that is mot just already occupied as is all other acoustic material but the occupied state, i.e. personality of which is its main characteristic, changes the idea of composing as well as of improvisation. The point is that the improviser is not in control of the moment because each moment is interpreted dramaturgically afrerwards on the computer or at least re-interpreted. The composers, however work as with people; slightly similar to film directors who form stories out of personalities. The main difference being that the ten personalities of "diphtongs" no longer have the opportunity to interfere. The fact that each solo is recorded individually beforehand results in a soloistic conscientiousness of listening and of reacting to oneself. The fact that the musicians could not react with one another, although they can be listened to on one CD together, transports floating condition, domianted not by the deficit of isolation but by the exeptional quality of a fine, transparent fabric of individuals, a web both of soloistic and composed lines."

Unbestreitbar ist was Wahres an dieser Beobachtung, etwas Entscheidendes wird dabei aber ignoriert: Daß es seit Jahren und unbeirrt den einen Max Nagl gibt, der feinsinnige Miniaturen produziert und auch veröffentlicht, Stücke, als würde ein Schwamm Teile der Umwelt aufsaugen und als ziseliertes Klangobjekt wieder zurückgeben. Gerade mit diesen Arbeiten aber ist Max Nagl ganz bei sich selbst, produziert Musik als Mobilar der Psyche, eine Kunst des öffentlichen Privatisierens. In so ein soziologisch/musikalisches Spannungsfeld versetzte Max Nagl sich und seine Mitmusiker beim Musikprotokoll 1998: Im Pausenfoyevor dem Stefaniensaal wurde die Kunst des akustisch-kompositorischen Zwischenraums gepflegt."
