Manos Tsangaris: LOVE & DIVERSITY- Chios Music Festival

Love and diversity: a journey with music, lights, words and three stops along the way. A game of questions and a fascinating example of Music Theatre in which the public are viewers and listeners but participants, too.

ARCHIVE OF EMOTIONS AND EXPERIENCES FOR STAGED PIANO &PERFORMER

BY NIELS RONSHOLDT

Supported by ONASSIS STEGI

PERFORMANCES: 9, 10 JUNE 2019

9/6 2019, 10/6/19 21:30

A pianist works, registers statements, shows, notes. We are the audience who observes her, the pianist, the oracle, who conducts a ritual. Niels Rønsholdt says: “… the pianist plays a role as a kind of oracle or survivor in or from a future, where the world as we know it has broken down, and man is more or less dismantled. She tries to remember, record human emotions and experiences, before they disappear. She uses everything she has available and at hand: the instrument“.
Both nights take place in a dystopian future where man is no more. “I am fascinated by the idea of ​​what will be left of man – the idea that for instance art survives man: When man is gone, all that we felt and experienced is also lost. But it lives as a kind of echo in literature and music, captured and maintained in a kind of code language".
In his music Rønsholdt often focuses on people, emotions, expressions and what we say and do. It makes his works communicative, theatrical and deeply human. In the Archive of Emotions and Experiences, we as the audience will follow the registration of exactly what Rønsholdt captures in his music.

Soundscapes project

ZKM will develop a geo-referencing app and in cooperation with OCC will commission site-specific electroacoustic or instrumental works for specific places in Germany and Greece.

Composers Carola Bauckholt, Niels Roensholdt, Marianthe Alexandri- Papalexandri, Michalis Paraskakis, Simone Movio, Christina Athinadorou, Ηuihui Cheng and Lambros Pigounis in collaboration with the partners of the project will be asked to write miniature compositions for specific urban spaces in Thessaloniki , Greece's second largest city. These will be recorded by the dissonART ensemble and will be uploaded to a geo-refereing application creating an in-situ urban concert. The Thessaloniki soundscape compositions will remain accessible even after the completion of the projectcycle, for visitorss (locals and tourists) and citizens to enjoy. We estimate that over 1.000 people per annum will use the app and listen to compositions.
