Musica In Prossimità // Abbonamento DAY 1

About

29-11-2024 h 19:00 at Sala Italo Tajo, Pinerolo, via San Giuseppe The encounter between Quartetto Maurice and SoloVoices took place in 2021, the year in which the vocal ensemble presented the work Stimmung by Karlheinz Stockhausen to the audience of Musica in Prossimità. The specularity between the two projects - string quartet and vocal quartet - gives rise to the idea of a collaboration that immediately proves to be very fruitful. Curious about the possibilities offered by an unprecedented octet, they commissioned the writing of new works from two of the most relevant names in contemporary composition: the eclectic Austrian composer and patches programmer Bernhard Lang and the Lithuanian composer Justė Janulytė, whose research focuses particularly on monochromatic ensembles (only strings, only winds, only voices). The audience will attend the world premiere of GAME 15 - Mirror Games (Bernhard Lang), a work developed from symmetrical processes based on the doubling of the square and the idea of specularity between the four string instruments and the four voices, and Nodo Infinito (Justė Janulytė), a hypnotic loop inspired by the Buddhist symbol of the 'infinite knot', an eternal circle of time and energy where cause and effect are one and the same. ----------- 29-11-2024 h 21:30 at Teatro del Lavoro, Pinerolo, via Chiappero 12 YEAH YOU are Gustav Thomas and Elvin Brandhi, father/daughter from Wales but citizens of the world, with ever-changing logistics between Vienna, Kampala, Berlin, Cairo, Newcastle. Improvised musical and geographical excursions are the base of their Kh-art’ Car-art. The project has an innate portability. It grew from a desire to make something during every spare moment, using compact recording gear to turn the usual banal everyday family drives into spontaneous recording sessions in the car. Indeed, warped into identity politics, this could be an anti-formulaic deconstruction of the nuclear family and of psychic uniform, which normative roles serve to sustain. In itself is just an improv life stream. Diving in with an admittedly involuntary entropic approach, YEAH YOU provide something to enjoy/not enjoy, where the content shifts depending on how many supermarket discounts they found. "It's really about having developed an approach to performance which eradicates its framing as 'separate' from what people think of as daily life".
