[DE] Viel hilft viel. Manchmal stimmt dieser Merksatz aus dem Einmaleins der Maximalphilosophie halt doch. Ganz sicher stimmt er im Falle der PolyBand. 2015 von Jasper Stadhouders ins Leben gerufen, setzt das Quasi-Orchester mit variabler, stets überbordender Besetzung auf das PolyPrinzip: viel Volumen, viel Rhythmus, viel Tonalität, viel Wiederholung – und dann eine einzige minimale Veränderung für extrem viel Wirkung. Diese komplexe Vielheit spielt dabei mit den Hörgewohnheiten, den Erwartungen und dem Klanggedächtnis aller Beteiligten auf und vor der Bühne. Bei A L'ARME! Vol. X+I tritt die PolyBand selbstredend mit dem größten Line-up des Festivals an. 16 Musiker:innen, darunter diverse Koryphäen der niederländischen Jazz-Szene, ein Dudelsack und ganze drei Schlagzeuger. Mögliche Steigerungsformen von „PolyBand“: viel – mehr – am besten.
[EN] More is more. Sometimes this expression of maximalist excess really rings true. It certainly does in the case of PolyBand. Initiated by Jasper Stadhouders in 2015, the quasi-orchestra with an exuberant, ever-changing line-up relies on the PolyPrinciple: lots of volume, lots of rhythm, lots of tonality, lots of repetition – and then, a single, minimal change for a massive impact. This complex multiplicity plays with the listening habits, the expectations, and the sound memory of everyone involved both on and in front of the stage. Naturally, at A L’ARME! Vol. X+I, PolyBand will be appearing with the festival’s largest line-up: 15 musicians, including a number of luminaries from the Dutch jazz scene, a set of bagpipes, and three drummers. Possible superlatives of “PolyBand”: much – more – the best.
