It is one of a kind feeling when you are surrounded by the silence that is filled and trembling with music living inside it! This is exactly how it feels being around these giants.

Other Times, Other Places.
An invisible particle of light,on a sound pendulum,swinging back and forth,enveloped in the sound of other time-space. Until the gravity brings it to its equilibrium. In front of our eyes.But it is the ears that are seeing it. ▪︎ Live performance of Christopher Fox’s “Other Times, Other Places” by Angharad Davies (violin) & Tom Jackson…
Immersed in Orchestra… on a Wire
The Darmstädter ferienkurse für neue musik had its very first performance of the festival. Well… No. Not a performance. Not an installation. A sound immersion! Because Christina Kubisch’s ‘Orchestra on a Wire’ was just that (for me at least). An offer of experiencing an orchestra, a performance, in a way you haven’t before, proximity to…

Right from the start, unnoticeably yet convincingly, soft beating of a tam-tam will get your heart, body and being into the right frequency, groove and mood… Your ears, and eyes, will…
When the Sideshow is the main show
Have you ever thought anout what do all the manmade creatures of the amusement parks do at night?Do they come to life? Would they, do they, get upset? Of how they are treated.
