Sounds fiction
Now we would like to develop, compose and realize a serie of site specific pieces as a logic continuation of our previous work but this time without using any written scores. The room in which we perform will be the composition.
portals
In Nomi Epsteins piece portals the musicians are moving back and forth between different clearly defined sonic designs: harmonics, rhythmical loops, white noice, birdsong, vinyl crackle. An internal sound hiking, playfully searching and finding itself in constantly new contexts.
Foreign Fridges
In Hanna Hartmans piece Foreign Fridges we get a new point of view on how a graphic score can be transformed into a musical performance. A score that resemblance a number of wiring diagrams, circuits or simply depicting the back side of an imaginary fridge.
Johan Arrias
Johan Arrias is a saxophone and clarinet player active in the field of improvised, experimental and contemporary music. He works with deconstructing and fragmenting the traditional ways of playing his instrument with extended techniques and preparation, regarding sound as an autonomous matter. Function in RM: musician, organizer, producer, artistic leader Projects. Events.
Der erste Stern ist das letzte Haus
In Micheal Pisaros low-key piece Der erste Stern ist das letzte Haus seemingly insignificant events is given a sonic shape. Forty sound sculptures of withering leaves in miniature format. A variation piece with a clear focus on the details where every leaf, or in our transcription; every musical gesture, is presented in its own right, always unique and at the same time similar to the previous and the following.
