KARLHEINZ STOCKHAUSEN – “Total Immersion: Stockhausen Day”
“INORI – Adorations for orchestra and 2 dancer-mimes” – “Prayer-like gestures interpreted in performance by 2 dancer-mimes, lie at Inori’s core. “Dance is everything that a human being is able to do musically with any part of the body,” the composer observed. Inori celebrates the meditative potential of expressive movements, presented in fine detail by the two soloists and mirrored in the response of two orchestral groups. Stockhausen’s exquisite work will be introduced from the stage by David Robertson (also feat. Kathinka Pasveer and Alain Louafi, dancer-mimes)”
7P, Barbican Hall
“Hymnen” – “With its collage techniques, synthesis of ‘found’ national anthems and use of electronic sound modification, Stockhausen’s Hymnen remains a seminal work more than four decades after its completion. The two-hour tape composition, presented here in its four-track tape version of 1966-7, has influenced everyone from German electronic group Kraftwerk to Icelandic singer Björk with its unifying ideal of universal harmony and global humanism. Please note that this concert will finish at approximately 11.30 p.m.”

PLASTIC CRIMEWAVE – scoring “The Man with the Movie Camera” (dir. Dziga Vertov, 1929, 80 min.)
“‘The Man with a Movie Camera’ is the kind of movie that turns cinephiles into cinemaniacs. A kaleidoscope of visual possibilities, a feast of energy and ideas, Dziga Vertov’s everything-including-the-kitchen-sink picture-poem teems with life, craft and innovation. It’s an ode to the city, to the machinery of modern life, to the rhythms of everyday people and to the visual splendor of movement, but most of all it’s a love letter to the camera itself. Vertov may have pioneered the use of the “hidden camera”, capturing moments of uncommon naturalism, but this restless film also puts the material reality of filmmaking front and center, even letting the camera do a charming stop-motion dance number. Toying with the artificial omnipotence of filmmaking, Vertov takes the documentary places few have been able to follow. This film wasn’t made for DVD–like a wild horse, The Man with a Movie Camera needs to run through the projector gate! The evening’s live score will be performed by Chicago’s own psychedelic spearhead Steve Krakow, a.k.a. Plastic Crimewave (who also writes and draws the zine Galactic Zoo Dossier).”

The “Color Blind Test” depicts the “invisible” people in society. These are masked with a vinyl dot screen that mimics the classic color blind test.”

MATT ROGALSKY – “Memory Like Water” (sound installation)
“‘In Memory Like Water’, which revisits the idea of water as a metaphor for memory, the voices of people recounting their earliest memories are used to shape the sounds of water in motion. In each of eight loudspeakers, an individual is paired with a watery location (streams, rivers and lakes recorded in Ontario, Vermont and New York State). The streams of sound are continuous; for the most part the original voice recordings are submerged, and used to shape the water by imposing on it their frequency content, rather than being heard directly. Whispers of the voices occasionally become directly audible, however, especially when listening to one speaker at close range.”
