Brutalist evening
The musicians of the Tulkinnanvaraista forum will perform avant-garde music commenting on brutalist architecture. The works are united by a focus on the unembellished materiality of sound and the clear and unpretentious presentation of structures.
Programme:
Peter Ablinger: Sinuston und Rauschen (2011, 0’40”)
Peter Ablinger: weiss/weisslich 7 (1999, 4’)
Peter Ablinger: weiss/weisslich 21 for percussion instrument and electronic sound (1994, 20’)
James Tenney: Cellogram for cello (1970, 15’)
Laurence Crane: Derridas for piano (1984, 20’)
Helga Karen, piano
Juho Laitinen, cello, electronics
Tiia Toivanen, percussion
Peter Ablinger’s series “weiss/weisslich” deals with noise as a simultaneous paradox of full and empty. Laurence Crane continues in the footsteps of Satie’s Socrates by painting a monochromatic, serene and cheerful portrait of the postmodern philosopher. James Tenney’s composition is a comprehensive representation of the resonance of a stringed instrument within a given frequency range.
