Die E-Gitarre spielt in diesem Jahr eine besondere Rolle: Catherine Lorents vielfach ausgezeichnete Installation „Relegation“ macht den Sound von sieben E-Gitarren als elektromagnetisch gesteuerte Klangskulptur zum Erlebnis. Als abschließendes Highlight setzt der vierte Festivaltag die E-Gitarre ins Rampenlicht. Performances von Ale Hop, Chra, Maya Shenfeld und neue Werke von Ann Cleare, Katherine Young und Yoko Konishi lassen das Instrument in seiner ganzen Vielfalt strahlen und spannen den Bogen zur zeitgenössischen Kunstmusik – ob mit erweiterten Spieltechniken, der Modifizierung mit anderen Objekten oder mit granularen Sound-Effekten.

Panel IV: Current Perspectives on Microtonality
The beginnings of microtonal music date back to the early 20th century. Whereas in classical instrumental music, considerable effort is required to produce quarter tones and microtones, in electronic music the sound can be shaped as a continuum and organized as desired. But whether produced with classical instruments or electronically, microtones and microtonal compositions open up new worlds of sound and teach us new ways of listening. This year’s edition of the festival presents current perspectives on microtonal music. During the panel, invited musicians and composers will explain their compositions and talk about their ideas and experiences with microtonality. The guest will be the Berlin-based Canadian composer Chiyoko Szlavnics.
