Enno Poppe: Rundfunk
In the organizer's words:
ensemble mosaic
In the late 60s, the synthesizer was seen as a vision of the future with almost unlimited possibilities. But the development of microelectronics was so rapid that devices such as Moog and Hammond disappeared from concert stages and ended up in museums.
The days when German-born Krautrock caused an international sensation with Kraftwerk, Popol Vuh and Tangerine Dream are history. So "Rundfunk" can also be seen as a nostalgic and highly personal homage to the early days of electronic sound production. And yet there is more at stake here. Poppe does not work with original instruments, but with their computer reconfigured sounds. He is not a restorer, but a designer and discoverer. At first, individual sound particles flicker, like the seemingly randomly scattered finds in the course of an archaeological excavation. But when put together, the sounds reveal new qualities, producing fresh textures and astonishing motivic condensations.
