Dirty Electronics Ensemble perform Stockhausen Aus den sieben Tagen

Details

Description

5th November 2008, PACE Studio 1, De Montfort University, Leicester, UK.

The Dirty Electronics Ensemble directed by John Richards and Simon Emmerson perform a special version of pieces from Aus den sieben Tagen. The pieces have been realized through a unique collaboration with Rolf Gehlhaar who worked closely with Stockhausen between 1967 and 1971, and who was part of Stockhausen¹s original ensemble who premiered Kurzwellen in 1968. DIY electronics, laptops and turntables intertwine and coalesce in a twenty-first century interpretation of Stockhausen.

The ensemble also performed as part of the Klang Festival, a celebration of Stockhausen's music at the Southbank Centre, London.
