Zeitlupe 2024 is a concert format that stands for personal encounters with new music. It invites artists from other international partner cities of the UNESCO City of Music network to present their works and musical aesthetics in Hanover and, after a discussion with music editor Egbert Hiller, to deepen their perception.

The world premiere of Figure-ground by the English composer Georgina Bowden, who lives in the UNESCO City of Music Adelaide, is at the center of this slow motion. We are particularly looking forward to the unusual trio line-up for this program, consisting of musicians from the internationally renowned ensemble Musikfabrik (Cologne). Inspired by the shapes and colors of the Australian landscape, Figure-ground plays with acoustic perception to capture the eternal paradox of permanence and transience. In addition to Bowden's Figure-ground , three other world premieres by international composers Juliet Palmer (NZ/CA), Dylan Lardelli (NZ/AU) and Gordon Williamson (CA/DE) can also be heard.

In conversation with Egbert Hiller, Georgina Bowden gives insights into how her work can lead to unexpected and surprising creative results by combining ideas from different disciplines and abstracting sensory experiences in Australian nature.
