Other Info | Morton Feldman, For Aaron Copland Charlie Sdraulig, between Michael Maierhof, shopping 4 Alvin Lucier, Music for Piano with Slow Sweep Pure Wave Oscillators Neil Luck, Clubc Elo Masing, study in silence Ilze Ikse - flute Linda Jankowska - violin Elo Masing - violin and balloon Benedict Taylor - viola and balloon Gwenaƫlle Rouger - piano Charlie Sdraulig - balloon This programme concentrates on various aspects of the physicality of instrumental performance with special attention to formulas of restraint. All the pieces in the programme have a rather singular focus on a particular sonic or conceptual domain, as well as often gradually unfolding processes that are used as a means of experimentation and exploration. These qualities manifest themselves in the careful attention paid to the pure sonority of the violin in Feldman's For Aaron Copland, the tenuous cuing procedures of between by Charlie Sdraulig, the meticulous investigation of the sonic possibilities afforded by balloons rubbed by sponges in shopping 4 by Michael Maierhof, the beating between piano and sine tones in Music for Piano with Slow Sweep Pure Wave Oscillators by Alvin Lucier, the contorted hand shapes of Clubc by Neil Luck and the muted instrumental choreography of study in silence by Elo Masing. |
