Reception kindly supported bythe Embassy of Ireland in Germany. 20:00 MoonPhases (2017/2022, Francis Heery) <a href="https://www.quietmusicensemble.com/sonicbook-moonphases1" title="https://www.quietmusicensemble.com/sonicbook-moonphases1" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">MoonPhases</a> is a long-form spectral work written as a homage to W.B. Yeats’ occult work A Vision. This book was derived from notes he took during daily seance-like sessions with his wife Georgie, who would channel messages from the beyond, either through speech or automatic writing. MoonPhasesfeatures a ‘hermetically charged’ drone and sets of performance instructions on 28 cards. ---- Saturday 25th May ---- 13:00 Inferno (2021, Elliot Murphy) Inferno is a work for solo cello and interactive pre-recorded strings written in celebration of the septuacentennial of Dante’s Divine Comedy. It follows Dante’s journey as he descends into the underworld marking each new location with a sonic landscape. Its modular composition allows the pre-recorded aleatoric parts to be flexibly recomposed during performance while the live cello part is improvised simultaneously. Supported by The Arts Council of Ireland. 15:00‘ … and if these were islands …’ A long form improvisation featuring various constellations and clusters of improvising musicians from Ireland and Berlin. 19:00 Uncharted Panel discussion with artists and composers featured in Topographies, in conversation with the ContemporaryMusic Centre’s Jonathan Grimes.
