Jens Joneleit: ILLUVIATION featuring Roscoe Mitchell
Info text: Illuviation is an attempt to start and think ahead exactly where it becomes “dangerous” for many makers and listeners of jazz to exceed a certain tolerance limit. Illuviation is also an attempt to let initially seemingly incompatible styles and sound worlds collide, but not to mercilessly blur them, as with cross-overs, or to let one “world” replace the other […]
Elliott Sharp: Orchestra Carbon-LARYNX
Info text: Elliott Sharp: Orchestra Carbon – Larynx Larynx is an analogy; the orchestra as a throat. A reversal of the fact that the throat can also be an orchestra: as in the throat songs of the Inuit in the Canadian Arctic, in the Khöömej songs of Mongolia, or even in the distantly related oral cavity technique of the Jew's harp, which is called [ …]
Elliott Sharp: Orchestra Carbon - SyndaKit
Info text: Elliott Sharp: SyndaKit I wrote SyndaKit in 1998 for my ensemble Orchestra Carbon. The piece translates images from biology into music; it creates a constantly changing breeding ground of rhythms and timbres. It has an improvisational character and works with algorithms, but it is not improvisation. SyndaKit is primarily a changing organism, consisting of 144 […]
Elliott Sharp: Tectonics-ERRATA
Info text: Elliott Sharp: Tectonics – ERRATA As a child, I was fascinated by everything that was futuristic and electronic. My Tectonics project may have its roots here. I read science fiction books from a young age and planned to become a scientist. Anyone who grew up in the USA in the 1950s was constantly and unscrupulously bombarded with propaganda about “scientific progress” […]
Jens Joneleit: ARBITRARY featuring Tom Student
Info text: The word “arbitrary” means free, arbitrary and arbitrary – in other words, that would have to be jazz first and foremost. However, the improvisation here is not with small musical material such as phrases or themes, but with musical auras. In Arbitrary the musicians “take possession” of auras that are clear and to the point: mainly the aura of the Electric period of […]
Charles Uzor: Quartet/Quintet
Info text: In all three pieces, guitar quartet, string quartet and clarinet quintet, the melody is the comforting hand that was perhaps the oasis of peace for St. Augustine. Just as his perception, shaken by the collision with the ego, migrated back to the content of perception, the melodies from Machaut migrate to me and perhaps back - more melodic mass than quotation, [...]
Ladislav Kubík: Songs of Zhivago
Info text: Boris Pasternak received the Nobel Prize in 1958 for his novel Doctor Zhivago, which he was forced to decline by the regime. The Czech composer Ladislav Kubík, who lives in the USA, sees the poems that Pasternak added at the end of his novel as a portrait of the poet and used this material to form his main work for tenor and orchestra. […]
Arnold Schönberg, Luciano Berio: Pierrot lunaire plus jazz, folk songs
Info text: Schönberg wrote “Pierrot lunaire” shortly before the development of twelve-tone music in a few days (March/June 1912) and selected 21 poems from a cycle by the French poet Albert Giraud in the German translation by Otto Erich Hartleben. There is no ongoing plot. Each poem describes a small scene, a moving image, a macabre anecdote […]
Mathias Spahlinger: Colors of the early days / musica viva vol. 16
Info text: Spahlinger is not exactly known as a quick writer, but the eight years it took to write it is exceptionally long, even for his standards. The premiere of the piece was postponed five times before it was finally realized in November 2005 (Theaterhaus Stuttgart). Last but not least, Spahlinger opens up between the rubble of tonal order and the shells and new buildings of the […]
György Kurtág, Jörg Widmann: Messages from the late Miss RV Trussowa / ... gloomy ...
Info text: In each individual way, the composing of György Kurtág and Jörg Widmann can be understood as a constant, productive dialogue with musical suggestions from the past. In Kurtág's work, this corresponds to the wide range of design means used, which extends from the traditional triad to canonical techniques through to the handling of sound textures and finds its ideal expression in the fragmentary […]
