Soundtracking

New collaborations between composition and improvisation

Lange//Berweck//Lorenz

A new format of collaboration between composition and interpretation. To this end, the trio has invited composers and sound artists from different musical scenes to compose a soundtrack with minimalist specifications: Midori Hirano, Julia Mihály, Christoph Ogiermann and Kirsten Reese.The sonic presence of the soundtrack very concretely defines the aesthetics of the work and provides a sonic direction and context. In doing so, the audio track can process a wide variety of heterogeneous materials, cite sound sources and musical styles, use complex synthesis techniques, incorporate language and texts. The setup of a playback tape to live instruments, chosen here as a new endeavour, draws a bow, not without irony, to the historical pieces of the avant-garde of the 1950s and 1960s, the classics of new music and acousmatic music by Edgar Varèse, Bernard Parmegiani or Luigi Nono, for example.

PROGRAM:
Midori Hirano: (2023, UA)
Julia Mihály: (2023, UA)
Christoph Ogiermann: (2022)
Kirsten Reese: »Creatures and Signals« (2018/2023)
