By Special Request
- Cold Reading Trio
Cold Reading Trio creates a shifting palette of sound augmented and multiplied by live layered sampling. Laptop, drums, and accordion dance in a constantly evolving musical dialogue as spoken text, signals, glitches, and found sounds are woven into the spectral texture. Each electro-acoustic environment unfolds in the moment to reveal a sonic territory of fantasy and surprise.
- Selinger/Mazunik Duo
Selinger/Mazunik Duo, winners of the prestigious 2004 Wolfgang Deppen award, were recently disinvited from the Bautzen Festival for "...extreme deviations from the score" (-Die Leipzig Tageszeitung). Their live compositions reconnect classical music to its roots in improvisation. Sitting down at their instruments with a germ of an idea, they instantly whip up first themes, second themes, and wild developments which often modulate on the turn of a century. From Albéniz to Xenakis, various composers inform and inspire this duo.
