RE-PATCHED concert at ARTGET Gallery in Belgrade
RE-PATCHED concert has after it’s premiere in Novi Sad on 19th of April, performed by its international ensamble on 20th of April at 19h at ARTHET Gallery in Belgrade Cultural Center in front of the diverse audience of Belgrade.
RE-Patched is a project that aims to reconnect with the legacy of Polish composer Bogusław Schaeffer. The collective of artists explores his unorthodox compositional methods, bridging the gap between Eastern and Western European cultural heritage. They preserve his legacy and pass it on to younger generations of composers in the field of experimental and contemporary music.
The concert 'Re-patched' focuses on graphic or open scores by and dedicated to Schaeffer, a pillar of 20th century music.
A total of nine compositions will be performed, ranging from the legendary graphic score 'NonStop' to scores that represent graphics not primarily written as music - Schaeffer was a polydramatic artist who worked in the visual arts as well as in music and theater. This presents an even greater challenge to the performers, expanding the possibilities for interpretation, improvisation and performance. The ensemble, made up of young performers from Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Serbia, will present two additional world premieres of compositions dedicated to Schaeffer, together with expert colleagues.
The aim of the project is to introduce the work of B. Schaeffer to the general public, to develop new methods of working with graphic scores and to achieve effective communication between composer, performer and audience. Schaeffer's musical legacy is a rich collection of graphic scores, acousmatic compositions, and works composed in 'conventional' notation, as well as music theater. It is a legacy that has yet to be fully explored and explained, and can be of great help to contemporary performers and composers today and in the future.
Part of the electronic material was created in the Electronic Studio of Radio Belgrade with the artistic assistance of Paul Pignon and the studio staff, including Jakov Munižaba.
Special thanks to Atelje 61, Electronic Studio Radio Belgrade, Cultural Station Eđšeg, Cultural Centre Belgrade, Academy of Arts Banska Bystrica, Paul Pignon, Marek Choloniewski and Aurea Porta.
