„Über dunkle Energien und leere Räume“ ("About dark energies and empty rooms")

 

Dark energies are the starting point for the work cycle “energeia aphanés” by Michael Quell. In astrophysics, this mysterious phenomenon serves as a hypothetical attempt to explain the observed increasing speed of expansion of the universe, which otherwise stands in clear contradiction to the gravitational effects caused by matter. Its existence has not yet been proven, so it itself cannot be observed, but, like dark matter, it essentially determines the space-time structure of the universe.
In the works of the same name, this idea becomes a symbol of a musically aesthetic world whose actual control principles remain consistently hidden, but whose results determine the world of experience. Space, time and the idea of ​​time dissolution play a central role.


Program:

Michael Quell
"energeia aphanés II" (2018) for contrabassclarinet and accordion
 
Gerald Eckert
"außen, von tief innen" (2015) for bassflute, contrabassclarinet and violoncello

"Posht-e Hichestan" (2015) for flute solo
 
Michael Quell
"energeia aphanés III - physis" (2019)

Gerald Eckert
"instead of (empty rooms II)" (2019)

„Über das Rätselhafte II“ ("About the enigmatic II")

 
 
The world is beautiful and cruel, simple and mysterious at the same time. “Über das Rätselhafte II” tries to make this audible: the delicate lines of a single flower as well as the dawn transformed into a rush of sound.  Superposition of waves, in water as well as in sound, their pulsation and their entanglements.
And again and again man, striving for knowledge and enlightenment and yet so destructive in his actions.

„Über zeitlose Augenblicke“ (About timeless moments)


 
Timeless moments - we can experience them in moments of greatest concentration or total relaxation, of incredible happiness or deep sadness, while experiencing great art or nature, with others or in absolute solitude.
The works selected for this program by Lisa Streich, Pablo Araya, Gerald Eckert, Pablo Olabarria, Stefan Streich and Iannis Xenakis oscillate between the greatest density in the smallest space and breathless delicacy and fragility, between liveliness and rigidity, between artistry and naturalness.

Stefan Streich
"ritorno" for flute and viola

„Sopra di noi“
 
 
The Solistenensemble Reflexion K presents sound universes with a large ensemble: microtonal movements and swirls on the iridescent sound surface in Liisa Hirsch's Autarkes (2020), sounds of great depth and power in Elnaz Seyedi's Questo che a notte balugina (2023) and an exuberant wealth of timbres with constantly changing sound states in Gerald Eckert's Sopra di noi… (niente) (2014). In addition, Trichter, Klee und Amsel (Funnel, Clover and Blackbird), a new work by Stefan Streich takes up Eckert's specific and large orchestration and leads it into completely different sound spaces.
