Hirsch | Lamb | Poppe »Soluted Harmonics«

In the organizer's words:

ensemble mosaik | Khachatur Kanajan

Giving the sound space. Allowing it to blossom in its finest shades and layers without imposing any content, shape or volume on it. This could be the concept agreed upon by Liisa Hirsch, Catherine Lamb and Enno Poppe.

The Estonian Liisa Hirsch has made a name for herself as a concert composer as well as a film and theater composer. She knows how to handle the genuine dramatic implications inherent in sound images.

Her American colleague Catherine Lamb, 2020 laureate of the prestigious Ernst von Siemens Prize for Composition, is inspired by the phenomenology of sound, its physical structure, frequencies and interferences. She works with acoustic elementary particles, allowing them to react with each other, accumulating to form new sound matter instead of using prefabricated stylistic figures.

It is precisely such stylistic figures that "Fleisch" takes as its theme. In short phrases, Enno Poppe allows the gestures of funk and rock music to pop up until the traces of use of the music, the labels that stick to it, develop a sensual quality of their own - music that has itself as its content.
