A mobile and participative concert situation with the ensemble Maulwerker: Ariane Jessulat, Henrik Kairies, Christian Kesten, Alexey Kokhanov (guest), Katarina Rasinski, Tilmann Walzer, Steffi Weismann.
Compositions by Ariane Jeßulat, Henrik Kairies, Christian Kesten, Alexey Kokhanov, Katarina Rasinski, Rebecca Saunders and Steffi Weismann.
In their new series ORTE & RÄUME, the Maulwerker dedicate themselves to specific places in urban space in order to experience them acoustically. After the musical exploration of the inner courtyard of the ACUD in August 2020, they now visit the Sarotti-Höfe and the exploratorium berlin.
Where do sounds sound when we hear them? – The psychology of perception knows many answers to this question, digital technology even knows many exact answers to it, nevertheless seven vocal performers, a few instruments and a remote spatial situation are enough to undermine familiar parameters and to make the self-evident seem outrageous. The Maulwerker conceived new compositions specifically for the Sarotti courtyards, challenging the audience to reconstruct the space by listening, to pursue counterpoints around twisted corners, to reassemble polyphony again and again. Sonic mixtures across spatial distances, split sounds on location, and deliberate dissociations of sounds and their sources play with notions of distance, attraction, order, and perhaps tensions that we currently encounter more charged than before COVID-19.
