This month at MUSIKUNST we will be stretching the boundaries of musical interpretation with two performances back to back that defy the participants understanding, players & audience alike, of ‘composition’.
First up, Ian Parsons presents eight musicians performing eight of the best pages from Cornelius Cardew's massive 'Treatise' (1964-68) - the biggest and most challenging graphic score ever written! Art, logic and indeterminacy collide in this rarely performed work, live at Musikunst
Next up will be a musical treatment of sound inspired by the blending of classical minimalism and drone. With 11 performers using multiple electric guitars in combination with classical stringed instruments (plus a few surprises). The compositional tool employed here will be simply the tuning alone.
Performers:
Myfanwy Alderson - viola
Gearóid Brinn - electric/fretless guitar & bass
