ABE NSEMBLE

As in the ‘ABE nsemble’ title with its unfamiliar spelling, the performers, sound artists, sound researchers and instrument inventors represent both opposites in their musical and cultural origins and the spaces into which they perform. How does (the)new emerge? When glass rods vibrate with watery fingertips on a newly developed ‘Electric Cristal’ instrument, when the bass clarinettist releases horizontal sounds in the modular system/MAX/MSP into the 360° space? When a thread, spun during the sung room tone, forms the base of glowing phosphorus lines? Or sounds are transferred to the wood, glass and metal surfaces of the performance space, transferring it to its material resonance? Are linear time sequences abandoned here, when the beginnings and ends of the piece are pushed acoustically far above each other? The ‘nsemble’ plays nothing to the audience. ‘The ‘nsemble’ dissolves the usual audience relationship to become a situational-intuitive creative process. Our focus: the moment of the emergence of a spatial digital performance using sensor and audio technologies as well as electro/acoustic instruments. We assume that this is a way to provoke the new.
