Matthias Muche – BONECRUSHER

With BONECRUSHER, Matthias Muche has at his disposal a large ensemble that allows sound to be organized as a structure that can be experienced spatially. No fewer than twelve trombones and percussion instruments form a hybrid ensemble in which microtonal layering, spectral densification, and balanced harmonic processes can unfold. At the heart of the current program is the Cologne premiere of a work by Berlin-based Swedish composer Ellen Arkbro. Her music, focused on precise intonation and slow harmonic transformation, meets the immense sonority of the ten trombonists and percussionists. The program is complemented by works by Muche, which were developed specifically for this ensemble and serve to intensify and refine the group’s sonic possibilities. The result is a concentrated, immersive soundscape that places the act of listening itself at the center.
