“Monodosis III” was awarded the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik (German Critics Award) in the category Grenzgänge (crossing boundaries) 3/2023

Monodosis III presents the third document of a unique research in progress undertaken by the acclaimed composer and vibraphonist Christopher Dell. Inscribed in the solo series of Monodosis, this album displays Dells latest groundbreaking virtuoso work, which in its radical performativity transcends the traditional dichotomies of composition vs. performance. Through this solo endeavour, Dell creates an intricate medium to explore questions of composition in a small yet transcending scale. This downscaling in and concentration of instrumentation allows Dell to constantly redefine the musical grammar of his vast oeuvre. Unfolding in serial form, the music travels swiftly through a kaleidoscopic, in its mono-ism almost phantasmagoric realm of parametric views. An adventure for the ear.
