Dedalus / Thomas Ankersmit

klub katarakt 19

On the second day, Dedalus will first present the German premiere of Histoire sentimentale des intervalles by the Italian composer Alessandro Bosetti (*1973), who lives in Marseille. From spontaneously sung notes and personal narratives from the musicians, Bosetti creates a collective musical biography of the ensemble. Bosetti is a composer and sound artist with a particular interest in the musicality of language and in the voice.

In the second concert of the evening, Thomas Ankersmit will play a solo performance on his analogue Serge Modular Synthesizer. His music combines intricate sonic detail and raw electric power, with a very physical and spatial experience of sound. Acoustic phenomena such as infrasound and otoacoustic emissions (sounds emanating from inside the head, generated by the ears themselves) play an important role in his work, as does a deliberate, creative misuse of the equipment. In the night concert, Dedalus will perform a programme of works by the English musician, producer, visual artist and theorist Brian Eno (* 1948). The ensemble will present instrumental arrangements of Discreet Music and other Ambient pieces by the British experimentalist.
