Tonus - Segment Tones

Review by Hayley Evers-King

The album Segment Tones by Tonus is a masterpiece of experimental music that takes the listener on a journey through a vast soundscape of ambient tones and textures. The album is a collection of six tracks, each one exploring a different sonic landscape.

The opening track, "Segment 1," sets the tone for the album with its haunting, atmospheric sounds and subtle rhythms. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through a variety of moods and emotions, from the eerie and unsettling "Segment 2" to the dreamy and introspective "Segment 4."

Throughout the album, Tonus demonstrates an incredible skill at creating complex, layered soundscapes that are both immersive and engaging. The use of field recordings and other found sounds adds an organic, natural quality to the music, while the electronic elements provide a futuristic, otherworldly feel.

Jazz/classical ensemble with an ever-changing line-up, directed by . Tonus is an ensemble project formed by Dirk Serries, focusing on the improvised relationship between sound and silence, often based upon a graphic score. It originated in 2017 at Serries' residency at Jazzcase in Limburg, Belgium, for which he brought together a sextet to work around a slow piano motif by Martina Verhoeven. The literal translation of Tonus is muscle strength, but in this context defines a musical system that places equal importance on the space between notes. Both definitions apply here as the music is an exercise in discipline and anticipation while controlling the clarity, sustain and effect of each single note played. Tonus acts as a vehicle to explore and perform these exercises, as well as a general classification for his ongoing study in minimalism and free improvisation.
