DEMO:POLIS – Decentralized Music In & Out - Decentralized Central

Together with the composer François Sarhan, Niklas Seidl and hand werk will jointly install pieces and sound situations – both already existing works and some developed especially for the project – in different spaces at the Akademie der Künste. The musicians will explore new areas of the building; daily and publicly. They will implant music (directly or projected over loudspeakers from other locations), react to the results and vary the sounds, cast and contents. Little by little a spoken-performative, situational form of music will be created.

Programme of the concert:

François Sarhan Situations
Niklas Seidl ich mag müll
Maximilian Marcoll Compound No. 4: FRICTION MACHINE ALARM SIGNAL CONSTRUCTION

& results of the project’s working phase


Decentralized Music 30 March - 19 April 2016
In the context of the exhibition DEMO:POLIS, composers and ensembles are working on ideas for a public, mobile music. They develop and carry out their concepts in respective one-week localized sessions in and around the Academy building on Hanseatenweg. Each Tuesday there are ensemble presentations as final touches to the working phases of their projects.
