In this work, Aleksandra Bajde wants to represent places, where a place does not have to be a material, geographical place – it can also be a metaphysical place where meanings, feelings, dreams and certain symbolic values are connected. The central idea of this new work is to create an abstract, scenic musical work using sound, the gestures and movements of the musicians and light as the main elements.   Aleksandra Bajde (SI/AT) | Concept, composition, voice Lili M.

Schallfeld Ensemble will perform in Milan as part of the Young Ensembles program of the ULYSSES Network.

Das Ensemble Schallfeld widmet den ersten Abend des Konzertzyklus 2022 den offenen Fragen und ungelösten Problemen, dem Kaputten und Unfertigen, das uns alle trotz guter Vorsätze zum Jahresbeginn verfolgt. In welchem Zustand sind wir jetzt, was bleibt von der letzen zwei Jahren Pandemie? Alles kaputt oder alles neu? In den musikalischen Beiträgen dieses Konzertabends hören, spüren und schauen wir hinein in Ruinen, wir sehen leere Stühle, Monoliten und Fragmente, die oft an die Grenzen der Wahrnehmbarkeit rühren oder deren Zerbrechlichkeit neue Formen der Aufmerksamkeit von uns verlangt. Kein Abend zum Aufatmen und Ausruhen, aber vielleicht eine Art Neubeginn. Es erklingt Musik von Patricia Alessandrini, Cathy van Eck, Andrés Gutiérrez, Hannes Kerschbaumer, Dmitri Kourliandski und Salvatore Sciarrino. PROGRAMM Cathy van Eck: Empty Chairs (ÖEA) Andres Gutiérrez: Monolito B (ÖEA) Dmitri Kourliandsky: Punctuation Marks Hannes Kerschbaumer: pedra-debris Expanded version II Salvatore Sciarrino: Codex Purpureus Patricia Alessandrini: Ada’s Song (ÖEA) Soprano: Kaoko Amano

From the very beginning, the project has seen itself as a laboratory, where medial interlacings with a focal point on impulses are put into practice. In specific, literary texts, as well as the active exchange between composer and the author, hereby provide the initial impulses for new compositions. The intention of the project does not pursue a classical setting such as words to music, nor a simple translation of the words with voices, nor tonal representations of the texts – what is called for is rather texts functioning as movens with their, for example, rhythmic and syntactic qualities, in its tonal coloration, its timbre, in its atmospheric or thematic density, as semantic abutment, … The experimental setup of „Text im Klang” has always been slightly modified throughout the years: in 2014 and 2016, texts by various Austrian authors served the composers in various pairings as a source of inspiration; in the performances, music and text were sometimes intertwined, the latter read by actors or the authors themselves, sometimes being integrated directly in the composition itself live or f.e. as an edited or processed recording. In 2018 in turn, the focus for all composers was put on one specific short text, and in 2020, both text and music were created from scratch on a jointly developed theme. Like in former years, with Ensemble Schallfeld also the musicians of course play an important role in the project, being included in the process from the very beginning and standing in close connection especially with the composers for the realisation of their new works. Throughout the different editions, Ensemble Schallfeld has hereby presented itself in various line-ups. For 2022, impuls has been able to interest Ferdinand Schmatz for the project, whose „das gehörte…
