The communication between human and machine is a determiningfactor in
the modern world. The multifaceted interrelationship and itseffects on the
individual and the collective will be projected onto fourmusicians. They are
directly linked to a central server, which controlsand coordinates their actions.
In return, triggered images and soundsgenerate a virtual, audiovisual space,
every musician interacts with,and ultimately merges completely with it.

i-camp, neues Theater München, Entenbachstrasse 37

The essential concern of this concert is to investigate future-oriented developments of contemporary music which reflect the overcoming of the marginalization of contemporary music on an elaborated artistic level. Klaus Schedl’s new work represents a concertante continuation of this concept: the creation of a work which facilitates music in all its varieties and functions without submitting to the dichotomy of “serious” and “popular” music. This comprises the choice of formal principle, compositional technique, instrumentation as well as the actual way of performance.

 EU COMPONHO A PARTIR DE SUA MÃO

 (Ich Komponiere aus Ihrer Hand)

  16. - 19. Oktober

  On the streets of Sao Paolo

Um trailer estacionado no meio de uma rua movimentada abriga um compositor que convida alguém para entrar. Dentro dele, a pessoa é entrevistada pelo compositor.

Musik steht hier nicht nur für ein ästhetisches Empfinden sondern schafft eine Situation der Wahrnehmung von konkreten Ereignissen und Gefühlen wie Angst und Ausgesetztheit. Andrerseits wird Musik in Waldmusik als Zeichen der Geborgenheit verstanden und herausgearbeitet. Musik ist: bei sich sein.

Die Inszenierung nutzt die natürliche Umgebung und deren Bedingungen (Wald, Steilhang, Felsen, Höhlen, Dunkelheit, Feuchtigkeit) und schafft mit Licht, Projektion und unnatürlichen Materialien einen Erlebnisraum, der fremdartig und doch vertraut anmutet

Schubert - stay friends

30. Mai 2008, 20.30 Uhr

i-camp - neues Theater München

As many others piano possibile can’t help being fascinated by Franz Schubert and his music: the composer Christoph Reiserer designed a program conception which investigates Schubert’s influence on contemporary music.

The concert focuses on the Adagio in the piano trio DV 897.  The compositions of Feldmann, Grisey and Reich are all working with Schubert’s typical techniques without directly referring to him: repetition of patterns, minimalism, harmonics based on harmonic series, a narrative-linear structure.

The first performance of Christoph Reiserer’s new work brings another aspect of Schubert’s music to mind: human nature beyond intellect.

In the new work Schubert’s method of creating an instrumental work on the basis of a song composition is going to be reversed. The human voice and beyond that – as in many of Reiser’s compositions – a physical approach to the instruments is incorporated into the instrumental composition.  By overcoming the intellect voice and body are leading to a human being beyond rationality.

Conducted by Heinz Friedl

The essential concern of this concert is to investigate future-oriented developments of contemporary music which reflect the overcoming of the marginalization of contemporary music on an elaborated artistic level. Klaus Schedl’s new work represents a concertante continuation of this concept: the creation of a work which facilitates music in all its varieties and functions without submitting to the dichotomy of “serious” and “popular” music. This comprises the choice of formal principle, compositional technique, instrumentation as well as the actual way of performance.

Francis Poulenc’s Tragédie en un acte - LA VOIX HUMAINE (a telephone monologue for one female singer and orchestra based on a text by Jean Cocteau, first performance 1959) was going to be performed in an arrangement for chamber orchestra by Christoph Reiserer. The project wasn’t given the necessary arrangement and performing rights. As a result the situation was apprehended and functionalized as a challenge to create a new, contemporary music theatre.

L'esprit de Murail

Siegfried Mauser in conversation with Tristan Murail

Together with Gérard Grisey Murail established the so-called “spectral music”. Apart from that the elegiac Winter Fragments, which were written as a memento of his early deceased friend and colleague, there are two more works for chamber ensemble on the program which function as a trajectory to his latest work – Seven Lakes Drive – which is performed for the first time in Germany.

Works by two of Murail’s students are representing a counterbalance to his own works: Marc-André Dalbavie who studied with him at the IRCAM in Paris and Oliver Schneller who belonged to the first generation of Murail’s students at Columbia University, New York and now lives in Berlin. Excerpts of Olivier Messiaen’s chamber musical masterpiece Quatuor pour la fin du temps remind of the fact that Murail once was a student of Messiaen at the Paris Conservatoire.

piano possibile
Conductor: Carl Christian Bettendorf

For this project piano possibile received an advancement award by the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation

When Arnold Schönberg was writing his Three Pieces for Chamber Orchestra in 1910, he and his students Alban Berg and Anton von Webern had only just left the safe haven of tonality. Although having been prepared since Wagner’s Tristan’s chord the step into the no man’s land of so-called atonality (or – as Schönberg more precisely formulated – “free tonality”) still turned out to be extremely difficult. For the three composers appearing here this factor initially resulted in an extremely reduced, fragmentary style with very short pieces. It seems as if the newly found freedom had made them literally speechless in the first place.

When the ensemble piano possibile was founded in 1993 half of its members were composers. Although in the meantime this has severely changed – mainly because of the personnel expansion of the ensemble – the contact especially with the young generation of composers is still playing a central role in the artistic work of the group. A part of the composers in this concert – all of them in their twenties and thirties and about to start an international career – have hardly or not at all been played in Munich or even the whole of Germany whereas they succeeded in attracting lasting attention elsewhere, as f.e. the Argentinean Marcelo Toledo with a commissioned work for the Ensemble InterContemporain or the Finn Johan Tallgren with a portrait concert dedicated to him at the Musica Nova Festival in Helsinki last March. Benjamin Schweitzer has been managed by Schott-Verlag for some time now; his work was performed at the Luzern-Festival and the Berliner Festwochen. Oliver Schneller’s commissioned work for the Timée, a newly developed electro-acoustic surround sound system, had its much-noticed first performance last year at the IRCAM in Paris.

Leitung: Carl Christian Bettendorf und Christian Günther
In 1974 Gérard Grisey outlines the preconditions for his future compositions with his Périodes for seven players. In the following year Grisey’s colleague Hugues Dufort equips the new idea with the obligatory label in an essay entitled “Spectral Music”. The concert of the ensemble piano possibile unites three prominent representatives of this stylistic direction and represents a concentrated review of its development from Grisey’s classic up to the onset of the new millennium. At first, Périodes was just the beginning of a large-scale cycle of works in which Grisey investigated the newly discovered “acoustic spaces”. Up to 1985 Les espaces acoustique expanded to six parts which might as well be performed separately or successively in subgroups. The instrumentation of the cycle accumulates from viola solo to large orchestra, the end of each part anticipating the beginning of the following

The sportsman – a hero. The stadium – venue of “sublime drama”, of collective national events uniting all classes – mostly in front of the TV screen. Sitting on the couch the spectator participates in a modern “Greek” tragedy: the moment of truth has come – no other place can turn you from a hero of the nation into its scapegoat within seconds.

Geburtstagskonzert für Klaus Huber
Muffathalle München

17. November 2004, 20 Uhr

On the 30th November Swiss composer Klaus Huber is going to turn eighty. As a pugnacious political spirit he remained young at heart, though. His compositional work also still reflects an amazing and always surprising development. In the attempt to draw a parallel in music history, Giuseppe Verdi would come to one’s mind who also found artistic inspiration in his political engagement and set off for new musical shores by composing Otello and Falstaff when he was already in his eigthies.

Alongside Huber’s wife Younghi Pagh-Paan, Brian Ferneyhough and Wolfgang Rihm appear as musical congratulators.

Struktur-Wellensittich

von Klaus Schedl

Music for 10 musican and two birds.

„In everyday life we are surrounded by a lot of acoustic phenomena.

We perceive them as noise, sound or even music.

We interpret the song of a budgie as a more or less structured chronological sequence. It isn’t music – it isn’t noise.

This piece aims at making the incomprehensible language of the bird (it could be any other non-musical structure) accessible to the audience. During the life performance music and musicians function as a kind of simultaneous translator. As a compositional solution I create a place holder score within which the musicians react to the bird. Repetition, imitation, rhythmic labyrinths and spectral-harmonic variety are the main compositional elements.”

Tagtäglich sind wir von vielen akustischen Vorgängen umgeben.
Wir nehmen sie als Geräusch, Klang oder sogar als Musik wahr.
Den Gesang eines Wellensittiches deuten wir als einen mehr oder weniger geordneten zeitlichen Verlauf. Nicht Musik - nicht Geräusch.

Pater Noster Konzert II

Städtisches Hochhaus, München
6. und 7 November 2003

Mit Kompositionen von Heinz Friedl, Klaus Schedl und Philipp Kolb
The project “Paternoster Concert“ is an offspring of our concert series “Musik findet Innen Stadt” which is based on the idea of performing contemporary music away from the conventional concert hall. The constant shifting of the performing positions and the almost endless number of “stages” turn this concert into a completely new acoustic and scenic experience: it is planned to organize a concert with three pieces of contemporary classical music being especially conceived for the building and the lift in the municipal tower block in Blumenstraße. 10 musicians/actors are going to perform in the paternoster cabs. However, there’s also going to be music from the loudspeakers being spread over the whole building which means that the musicians’ activity is not restricted to their cabs. The audience can take part in the concert on three levels thus making various sound experiences.

This year the Muffathalle and the ensemble piano possibile both celebrate their 10th anniversary. Twice a reason to celebrate, particularly as these two institutions of Munich’s cultural life have been working together successfully and frequently for some time now. According to the founding spirit of piano possibile in 1993 the celebrations will be multifaceted and open to experiments. To begin with, Klaus Schedl, one of the ensemble’s co-founders and “domestic” composers, will not read but compose “the audience’s palm” and immediately deliver the acoustic result of this process. In the second part there will be improvisations and performances whereas the main concert will represent works that have accompanied the ensemble’s artistic career up to now (by Mark-Anthony Turnage and Nicolaus A. Huber) as well as pieces by associated composers (José M. Sánchez-Verdú and Carl Christian Bettendorf, the second “domestic composer”) and – a great challenge! – Harrison Birtwhistle’s monolithic Secret Theatre. A chill-out with DJs Gebrüder teichmann will offer further opportunity to party.

Ich Komponiere aus Ihrer Hand

27. Juni 2003 von 20.00 - 24.00 Uhr auf der Theatinerstraße
Opening party from the Münchner Opernfestspielen.

A saloon carriage in the middle of a busy square, fairground or market place: the composer is sitting on the veranda. “I compose your palm” he promises the passers-by, receives his fee and starts his work:

He interviews the passer-by. The acoustic speech profile of the individual passer-by, which is recorded to then be transformed by an especially developed computer program, serves as basic musical material. The outline of the individual piece is determined by the course of the interview. The thus created material is printed as a musical score in the separated part of the carriage where five invisible (but surely not inaudible) musicians are going to give the passer-by a voice i.e. to make the score audible. The recording is immediately released as a CD and given to the passer-by who has so to speak been set to music.

On the program were contemporary evening serenades in different scorings from solo to large ensemble which ranged from a lyrical-intimate nocturne to a catastrophic night piece i.e from Heinz Holliger’s post serial piano pieces “Elis” (after lyric fragments by Georg Trakl) to the work for chamber orchestra “Under Neon Light I” by Detlev Müller-Siemens with its blues elements incorporated in a technique reminding of film editing. The dramaturgy of the evening also included the spatial conditions in the Haus der Kunst. With reference to this we developed an individual version of Pierre Boulez’ “…explosante-fixe…” The two first performances of works by Munich composers Alexander Strauch and Carl Christian Bettendorf also correlate with this special concert space.

Musik zwischen den Stühlen
Theater links der Isar
30. Januar 1997

A collage of scenic and musical elements appear as a new way of performing, developed by members of the ensemble and supervised by director Michael Tschernow. Before the audience can listen to the complete pieces parts of them are played like preannouncements from different parts of the room. Supported by light and sound engineering the whole concert has a compelling dramaturgy exclusively employing musical means and thus facilitating an easy approach to the compositions.

1995/94

Musik findet innen Statt

U-Bahnhof Sendlinger Tor
5. Mai 1995

„Disturbing“ the rush of a Friday afternoon to perform a 60 minute program with works by Stockhausen, Cage etc. in an underground station. We had a photographer record the multifaceted reactions of the passers-by. This concert inspired the Stadtwerke München to open underground stations for artistic and cultural events (the Underground Organ at the stations Universität and Giselastraße, jazz bands during carnival at several underground stations, Kunstraum (Art Space) at Odeonsplatz station).

Z.A.P

Feierwerk LOK, München
17. und 18. Dezember 1994

The idea was to catch a glimpse through the keyhole into the living room of an “average citizen” just having returned from work. Without any effort or reflection he consumes culture via the TV screen. He is living in his own, “separated” world. As he becomes aware of his situation – the TV is switching independently and against his will to a live camera – he falls into despair and breaks down. In the concert hall “culture” took place in the form of a concert, again and again interrupted by the view into the living room.
