Ensemble Modern: Ryoji Ikeda

In the organizer's words:

Digital art in an analog world

Ryoji Ikeda is known as an electronic tinkerer who composes light, pixels and data into large sound installations. How does a digital sound artist move in an analog world of strings and percussion? The Ensemble Modern, which has had its finger on the pulse for decades, embarks on a meditative journey through Ikeda's harmonic world. Under the sober title "music for strings", three duos ("Mirror") and two works for nine strings come together to create a contemplative soundscape. In "Mirror", two musicians begin at a long table, playfully approaching each other, crossing paths and moving away again - musically too.
