Sichtbare Musik [Visible Music] – five scenic concerts
❯❯deutsch

In the five-part concert series Sichtbare Musik, compositions are performed that ascribe special importance to, and consciously include, the visual context of live music. Each concert in the series is shaped in cooperation with a director and emphasizes a specific subject of contemporary performance practice. Concerts as an art form are thus researched in particular consideration of their visual aspects. The artists and the audience are granted an insight into new and diverse possibilities of experiencing concerts in a focused dramaturgy of action, lighting and space.

The first event, versteckte Klänge [hidden sounds] – directed by Beate Baron – deals with the visibility of musicians and audience – their performance and their presence – as an integral aspect of every concert’s form and music. diskrete Maschinen [discrete machines] draws attention to specifically developed instruments created by inventive composers; Thomas Fiedler’s dramaturgic approach brings the relationship between man and machine into the foreground with a text by Stanislaw Lem. In Fundstücke [found pieces], Claudia Doderer designs the scenic space as a visual complement to the program selection concept, which focuses on the use of “discovered sound material” – she projects image material discovered on-site. drinnen&draußen [inside&outside], directed by Thierry Bruehl, reflects on the spatial component of concert rituals and offers audio perspectives from the theater entrance to backstage. Bilder hören [listening to images] is characterized by projections created live by the musicians as well as reflections on YouTube culture. In cooperation with Malte Ubenauf, the ensemble’s musicians take on the challenge of images being a score and projected sound, a commentary or reflection – visual media is the vehicle of expression for the musical concept.

Each of the five concerts ends with a Nachhall [reverberation]: designed by the participating musicians and composers, it offers space for encounters and exchange between listeners and musicians.

The concert series is supported by the Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung, the INM Berlin, the Deutscher Musikrat and the Berlin Senate.
