Rotundenprojekt 2025: Rupert Huber. Begegnungsmusik
In the organizer's words:
The Austrian composer Rupert Huber (*1967) has composed a piece of music especially for the Rotunda of the Pinakothek der Moderne. It will be performed by visitors to the museum: it is their movements that trigger the melody sequences of the composition and create a polyphonic music of encounter.
"Social Music" is the name of the musical-spatial format that Rupert Huber developed from his composition theory "Dimensional Music". In the composer's installations, human encounters become music. "Dimensional Music" is characterized by the inclusion of a third axis in the (traditional) musical system of the pitch and time axis: the "possibility axis".
"Social music" is based on being able to incorporate unpredictable events into a composition - according to the principle of interaction: a person moves, a sensor detects their movement and triggers a melodic tone sequence. In this way, several people create a kind of symphony: their encounter is not only orchestrated, but forms the basis of the music installation - a symphony of people coming together. The sounds are adapted to the architectural situation, the proportions of the room determine the harmonization of the voices.
