Performer

Camilla Hoitenga, flutist:

The result is a new program of distinctly personal and compelling new music for flutes and percussion.

Sounds of Time with Norbert Krämer 

Repertoire includes works written for them by  SHIDA Shôko, Jovanka Trbojevic, KANNO Yoshihiro

„Sounds of Time“ – in Japan zirkular statt linear, fließend ineinander übergehende Phrasen anstelle von logisch aufgebauten Abläufen. Klänge, die über uns hinwegfluten wie Wellen am Strand und uns von einer Welt in eine andere mitnehmen. Klänge auch, die zeitlos sind, auf uralte Rituale anspielen, auf Gesänge beim Sumô-Ringkampf, die in die Gegenwart übersetzt und auf westliche Instrumente übertragen werden, auf Bass-Flöte und Piccolo, auf Trommeln Gongs und Triangel. Individuelle und kombinierte Klänge, inspiriert von Vorstellungen animistischer und spiritueller Überlieferungen, vermittelt durch moderne Technologien (Spektralanalyse von Schwingungen) und bereichert durch vokale Äußerungen, mal meditativ, mal erregt. (H.-D. Reese)

Flute & Piano/Synthesizer 

Three Projects with FLUTE AND PIANO and/or ANALOGUE SYTHESIZER


KARLHEIZ STOCKHAUSEN POLES

in a version for flute and analogue (Serge) synthesizer
The international project POLES is an hommage to Karlheinz Stockhausen centered around his composition POLES (1969-1970) for two players and multichannel sound diffusion. POLES is a so-called “open score”, music notated with a system invented by Stockhausen which consists of +’s and -’s instead of normal notes and which allows for various instrumentation.Aiming for a historically informed performance Camilla Hoitenga (USA/D) and Taavi Kerikmäe (EST) have made a version for flutes with the rare 1970s Serge modular synthesizer once belonging to composer (and some time copyist for K. Stockhausen) Michael Manion which is combined with current sound diffusion possibilities.

Performers:

Camilla Hoitenga (USA/ GER) flutes (piccolo, C-, alto-, bass-flutes)
Taavi Kerikmäe (EST) SERGE modular synthesizer, piano /inside-piano sounds
Francesco Colasanto (ARG/MEX), Tammo Sumera (EST) sound diffusion
