2014 Hybrid Music Concert in Nagoya im Aichi Arts Center: 9.2.2014 Information: please find below EthnoCity Concerts and roundtable on February 16th and 18th in Berlin at Berghain and St. Johannes Evangelist Church with: Ensemble Extrakte, Mercan Dede, Trilok Gurtu ... Information: www.ethnocity.de +++++++++++++ Hybrid Music Concert in Nagoya im Aichi Arts Center: 9.2.2014 Visual artist: Martin Riches Composers: Tomomi Adachi, Tom Johnson, Masahiro Miwa, Thomas Neuhaus, Roland Pfrengle, Dirk Reith, Günter Steinke, Schaun Tozer Conductor: Manuel Nawri Soloists: Alexandre Babel – percussion, Katia Guedes – voice, Lesley Olson – flute Kammerensemble Neue Musik Berlin: Rebecca Lenton – flute, Gudrun Reschke – oboe, Winfried Rager – clarinet, Jack Adler-McKean – tuba, Alexandre Babel – percussion, Theo Nabicht –bass clarinette, Matthias Jann – trombone, Emily Yabe – violin, , Ekkehard Windrich – violin, Kirstin Maria Pientka – viola, Cosima Gerhardt – cello, Eran Borovich – double bass
Manager in Japan: Ayako Adachi Concept What is so fascinating about music produced by machines and how does it differ from human sounds? The project Hybrid Music looks for answers to these questions. It presents a unique human-machine ensemble comprised of the renowned Kammerensemble Neue Musik Berlin (KNM) with three soloists and seven music machines by the British artist Martin Riches, whose works are usually displayed at art exhibitions. In this joint concert, works will be performed that have been especially composed for this specific array of performers. Each in their own way, the composers deal with the theme of this meeting between music, technology and the functionality of the machines: Sometimes the musicians' performance corresponds to that of the machines; at other times, they contradict or even imitate their mechanical functions and characteristics. Conversely, the machines are humanized and induced to play too fast or perhaps too quietly. The ironic aspect of this assembly culminates in Riches' music machines themselves which, although inspired by the automata of the 18th century, are controlled by modern computer technology and unlike their forebears, follow an aesthetic of visible functionality. The concert will be given at the Philharmonie in Essen in October 2013 and in Nagoya and Tokyo in the following February. Concert programme: Essen Trilogy For the 24 Piece Percussion Installation hitonokiesari (people vanish) for Singing Machine, Ein Ton and nine musicians All Change for flute and Flute Playing Machine Projections – technology and perception / Projektionen - Technologie und Empfindung for Talking Machine, StringThing, 24 Piece Percussion Installation, voice, alto flute, percussion, ensemble and live electronics How to lern to talk to u - for Talking Machine, electronics and voice Tomomi Adachi

Cultural diversity is central in this project. The ensemble offers a close-up view of the music cultures of the East, West, North and South. The goal is to create an unconventional repertoire that breaks the mold of what we consider to be fusion projects. Tradition is embraced, and both present and future are captured through intensity and time! Sounds, melodies, rhythms, techniques, volumes and moods form the basis for a colourful canon of musical discovery. The new body of sound is created in conjunction with the musicians. The ensemble consists of acclaimed musicians who understand listening as a dynamic process and are not afraid to explore new possibilities of music creation. "Ensemble Extrakte presents the results of the first probing week with prestigious musicans from Berlin with various musical backgrounds. How can we develop new dialogues, worlds of sensation and sound beyond stereotypes with the use of traditional instruments and conventional ways of playing music? All musicians live in Berlin – can our collective reality help us perceive each other on a new musical level?” Sandeep Bhagwati
"Ensemble Extrakte - a new experiment in my ongoing search to make trans-traditional music in a new way that avoids both the colonial and brashly eurocentric universalism of the "International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM) and the at least 5000 different shades of exoticist, orientalist, half-baked music "fusions". Could there be another approach, one that - while remaining wary of the aesthetic benefits of an indiscriminate and syncretic mixing of musical traditions - still opens up to what they can mutually afford each other, and how their disparate musical worldviews can come together to produce a music that not only mirrors but perhaps even presages the globalized age and its many trans-traditional lifestyles- and problems ? This project, thankfully initiated by Elke Moltrecht, takes a new step in this murky terrain. I am glad to be a part of it from its inception..." Sandeep Bhagwati

In this workshop-like concert these questions will be answered in unfamiliar ways, not unlike a baby’s first steps. Timid, experimental and daring.” Sandeep Bhagwati
