Two up-and-coming contemporary music formations – ensemble chromoson and NAMES ensemble – will shape the “architecture of Xenakis” – his works for solo instruments as a supporting structure, his works for solo instruments as a supporting structure, like fissures adjoining aesthetics running through the evening. The Italian composer Luigi Abbate also draws a bow to Xenakis with his work “Tamino, les paysages interdits”, which was composed with the UPIC constructed by Xenakis. Like massive pillars, ROHBAUTEN (conceived by composers Döttlinger, Ramsauer, Leboucher and Kerschbaumer), specially designed for the evening, will drill through the sonic construction and blast open the sound-spatial static with massive force.” – Hannes Kerschbaumer
