Maya Dunietz & Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop & WhatWhy Art
The music and performance project Sound Of Difference, developed by the composer Maya Dunietz and Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop, works with multiple acoustic drones that differ in the microtonal range. These sounds create tonal friction and subtle pulsating rhythms that are constantly moving and changing.
Seemingly static drones never sound the same for a second, but rather move towards or away from each other in an endless search for balance. It's a game of closeness and distance, attraction and repulsion. The musicians position themselves at different points in the room and thus resolve the frontal performance situation. The sounds saturate the atmosphere. The audience is invited to approach the performers, follow their movements, and hear the vibrations of the sounds with their whole body. Sound Of Difference explores a special sonic dimension.
The second part, entitled Fruit Sorbet, has an open structure and improvisational parts into which the performers bring in their different experiences. The project involves WhatWhy Art from Seoul, a contemporary music ensemble that plays traditional Korean instruments. Together, Dunietz, Kaleidoskop and WhatWhy Art create a complex, ambivalent environment of slow gestures and changing pitches. The performers become a multi-headed organism, a swarm that moves without a leader or a score.
