sensing city - in concert with amsterdam
A city has its own rhythm that affects the life of its people and is at the same time created by them. Bus schedules, traffic lights and the turn signals of cars are familiar patterns to the citizen. This interplay between creation and inspiration is also at the heart of all music. Making music means translating impression into sound, listening to music means transforming sound into impression.
So what happens if we allow these urban rhythms to occasionally have a direct influence on the musical performance of an eleven-piece-ensemble?
As the movement of cars outside the concert venue triggers the rhythms that are being played, the urban dwellers not knowingly become part of the composition, the city becomes audible through the musicians. This process happens in real-time and is guided by the framework of a video-installation that surrounds the ensemble during the performance of sensing city.
performing sensing city on the 10th of April 2008
“There will be eleven musicians on the eleventh floor playing an eleven-part-piece in the club11. We would like to assure you that this is completely unintentional!”
»sensing city« will be performed on the 10th of April 2008 at the
Club11 in Amsterdam.
