Listen to an orchestra while lying down, an orchestra playing live and yet remaining invisible, producing sounds so gentle and graceful that listening lying down becomes an act of free-floating concentration - as if it were about the old demand of Enlightenment that artistic practice refine human nature. At the same time, "fichten" is a performance that dissolves middle-class orchestra concert rituals into a performance-based sound installation. The music of Graz-based composer Klaus Lang, interpreted by the recreation - GROSSES ORCHESTER Graz in a setting created by Claudia Doderer, explores the whole range of acoustic possibilities of the Helmut List Hall. musikprotokoll 2006 Commissioned by steirischer herbst & musikprotokoll 2006 Co-operation MaerzMusik & Berliner Festspiele |
